Clear thinking can be difficult in a crisis situation. Therefore, we’ve prepared a basic list of some items that you might like to have on hand before and during a flood.

A basic emergency flood kit should include the following items:

• Emergency checklist and a list of important phone numbers
• Toolbox – with a variety of different items such as screwdrivers, spanners and allen keys
• Items to safeguard your property i.e. pallets to raise furniture, sandbags to prevent ingress of water etc.
• Small amount of cash
• Hand sanitiser
• Wind up mobile phone charger
• Wind up radio
• Fully charged laptop computer
• Torch with batteries/ wind up torch
• Wellington boots / waterproof clothing
