Flooding is expected – immediate action required

River levels are forecast to continue rising at the Bewdley river gauge as a result of persistent heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of property and roads and farmland is expected today. No further rainfall is forecast today. We expect river levels to remain high into the weekend. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are checking defences and liaising with emergency services. Please avoid contact with flood water and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated tomorrow morning 25/12/20 by 10am, or as the situation changes.
