According to the Environment Agency, if your area receives a flood warning, you should: "move your loved ones, pets and valuables to a safe place; move to higher ground or the upper floor of a building; turn off the gas, electricity and water in your home if it's safe; put flood protection equipment in place; do as the emergency services tell you; and help others if it's safe to do so."

Risk of flooding will reduce over the next few days, the Environment Agency says.
