Details

Our vision is for a warning service for the future which:  

  • meets needs
  • inspires action
  • builds trust

The Environment Agency’s Get flood warnings service provides timely and accurate flood warning messages to those at risk in England. This guidance will help professional (organisation) users manage their Get flood warnings accounts.  

It offers step-by-step instructions for main tasks, including:  

  • uploading locations 
  • tailoring flood message preferences 
  • adding contacts

The professional (organisation) service is designed for large organisations and businesses, and Category 1 or 2 responders who require more advanced features.

There are guidance documents for:

  • adding locations 
  • adding contacts 
  • linking contacts 
  • using keywords 
  • flood messages 
  • checking live flood warnings 
  • reports

You can find out more in the Get flood warning service YouTube tutorials.
