Reporting Flooding
Residents are encouraged to report flooding to the Environment Agency as soon as they can if their home or business has flooded; https://www.gov.uk/report-flood-cause
Once affected residents are able, the EA asks that they please submit a full report to floodreport.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/ This tool is available for residents across Wessex (the service is hosted by Dorset Council but is available for other local authority areas). The information provided is then shared with the risk management authorities to ensure it goes to the correct organisation depending on the source and impact of flooding. If the portal opens on the wrong FORT region, don't worry, you will be redirected when you identify a property affected.
Please direct any enquiries to the local customers and engagement team wessexenquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk. For enquiries related to Flood Warnings, preparedness, and resilience, you can contact the Flood Resilience team at floodwessex@environment-agency.gov.uk.
