England launches Flood Action Online preparedness guidance hub
The Environment Agency launched Flood Action Online to bring together guidance on checking flood risk, receiving warnings and preparing homes in England.
The hub links flood-risk information, flood warnings, Met Office weather alerts and property flood-resilience advice.
What changed
A single public starting point makes existing flood-preparedness information easier to find; it does not remove flood risk.
Who this is for
Households and property owners in England seeking flood-preparedness information.
What the official guidance says
- Use the linked official service to check local flood risk and available warnings.
- Prepare a flood plan using official guidance and follow current local instructions.
Dates & context
The launch was announced on 12 October 2026 during Flood Action Week. This is an information-service launch, not proof that flood defences are complete, a new emergency declaration or UK-wide household-supply advice.
