Be Flood Aware This Winter

The Environment Agency is here to help. They monitor rainfall, river and sea levels 24 hours a day, issue flood warnings, maintain flood defences and work closely with local partners to support communities before, during and after flooding.

Get flood warnings
Some properties within Warsop sit within an Environment Agency Flood Warning Area. If your property falls within this scope, you should have recently received a letter from the Environment agency.

To stay up to date on flood risks, and be informed of any expected flooding in your area, you can sign up to the Environment Agency’s free Flood Warning Service.
You can receive flood warnings by phone, text message or email, giving you valuable time to take action.
