Flood Recovery

Flood Recovery - Information for residents affected by flooding.

A guide producated by Devon Couty Council for those recovering from a flood event.  If you are currently floodig and there is risk to life, safety or property you should call 999.

Improving flood resilience for the future - Ask your insurance provider if they will reinstate your property with Property Flood Resilience measures (such as flood doors and non return valves). Ensure you have purchased flood insurance. Go to FloodRe to find out more information.

Create a household flood plan and sign up for flood warnings if you have them in your area. The Flood Hub has a guide on creating a household flood plan: https://thefloodhub.co.uk/household/

If your property has flooded internally, then you may be able to get funding from DCC for PFR measures through DCC’s PFR Funding Scheme. You can find more information on the scheme on the DCC Flood Risk Management team website: https://www.devon.gov.uk/floodriskmanagement/flood-resilience/property-flood-resilience-funding-scheme/
