[RINGMASTER COMMUNITY MESSAGING - SOMERSET WEST - BCU01 03012014]
Due to the current exceptional weather conditions there are some areas that may be subject of flooding across Somerset. It is advisable to check conditions before travelling - your local radio station is a good source of information.
Road closures may be put in place (and in some instances already have been) to assist with free flow of traffic around any effected areas. If you have to travel through the area where diversions have been lifted please drive carefully as there may still be debris on the highway.
If you know of any neighbours who may have been or could be effected by the floods you may wish to contact them, so they can take necessary precautions and action if flooding occurs in your vicinity.
PLEASE CALL THE FLOODLINE ON 0845 988 1188 FOR UP-TO-DATE FLOODING INFORMATION AND ALSO YOUR LOCAL RADIO STATION, WEATHER WEBSITES ETC.
THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY WEBSITE CONTAINS DETAILS OF RIVER LEVEL AND FLOODING INFORMATION AND CAN BE ACCESSED AT WWW.ENVIRONMENT-AGENCY.GOV.UK.
PLEASE REPORT ANY FLOODING IN YOUR AREA TO YOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT AGENCY OFFICE.
