Flooding causes a multitude of problems: from the day-to-day concern over a potential flood event, through the stress of the water-level rises, and into the post-flood clear-up.
And then the cycle starts again!
On this page we try to pull together as many sources of information, and flood resources, which may ease this burden a little.
These are sites we use regularly, and find useful, but all information is of course subjective, so we take no responsibility for anything you find on them.

UK Flood Insurance
We hear a lot of people who are effected by floods and say "we can't get insurance".
In the UK you can! The government set up an organisation to ensure that insurance comapnies don't exclude those who live in flood risk areas - it is called Flood Re.
Head over to thier website to find out more details.
In the USA, FEMA have the National Flood Insurance Program to help people with flood insurance.
