Flood Preparedness Kit Checklist
With flooding now the UK's most common natural hazard, this kit keeps documents dry, hands clean and your household reachable — before, during and in the messy clean-up after.
Flooding is the natural hazard most likely to affect a UK home, and it arrives fast. A ready kit means you can protect what matters, stay in touch and get out safely if the water rises — without scrambling at the last minute.
Two things flooding does badly: it cuts power and it contaminates water. So this checklist leans on off-grid light and comms, and on hygiene — floodwater carries sewage, so gloves, sanitiser and clean drinking water matter as much as a torch. Keep documents and a phone in a dry bag ready to grab.
