Homeowners in England are being urged to check whether their properties are at risk of flooding, with campaigns warning that around a third of people do not realise the danger their homes face. Roughly two million people in the UK are believed to be unaware they live in areas at risk, prompting calls for residents to use official flood risk checkers as wetter autumn and winter weather approaches.
Why now: Awareness campaigns are highlighting how many households underestimate their exposure to flooding as severe weather season approaches.
