Flooding in and around Totton and Eling
The Community Flood Plan for Totton and Eling has been designed to provide a basic framework that can be used to prepare for flooding events.
Taking steps to prepare for flooding and knowing how to react to a flood can significantly reduce the damages to a home and possessions, reduce risk to life and reduce the likelihood of suffering from mental health impacts in the future.
The Flood Plan identifies:
- The flooding risks to the community and ways to mitigate them, where possible.
- Types of flooding and how to access advice and flood warnings.
- Resources in the Community available to assist during an emergency.
