As flood alerts are issued for Merseyside by the Met Office, residents are advised to take precautions and stay vigilant during this period of heightened risk.
The alerts come as a result of heavy rainfall expected in the region, which could lead to localized flooding in certain areas. It’s crucial for residents to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and warnings issued by the Met Office.
Preventative measures such as clearing drains and gutters of debris can help mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall. Residents living in flood-prone areas should also have a flood plan in place, including keeping important documents and valuables safe and having emergency supplies readily available.
In case of flooding, it’s essential to prioritise safety by avoiding walking or driving through floodwaters, as they can be deceptive and dangerous. Keeping informed through official channels and heeding advice from emergency services is key during such situations.
