Fortunately, there are simple steps that you can take this winter, and throughout the year, to help yourself be more flood prepared &#8211; for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep informed &#8211; sign up to SEPA&#8217;s free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.floodlinescotland.org.uk\/\">Floodline<\/a> direct warning service: tel. 0345 988 11 88<\/li>\n<li>Access SEPA\u2019s live flood warnings 24\/7, by phone or online at www.floodlinescotland.org.uk<\/li>\n<li>Be prepared &#8211; prepare a family emergency grab bag in case you need to leave your property<\/li>\n<li>Protect yourself and family &#8211; maintain your property, especially simple things like keeping gutters and drains clear of blockages like leaves<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your home or business insurance covers flooding<\/li>\n<li>Use Ready Scotland&#8217;s advice on travelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-51 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/scotlands-environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2016\/12\/Aigas-Dam-RCB-small-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/rural-environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2016\/12\/Aigas-Dam-RCB-small-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/rural-environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2016\/12\/Aigas-Dam-RCB-small-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/rural-environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2016\/12\/Aigas-Dam-RCB-small-682x512.jpg 682w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/rural-environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2016\/12\/Aigas-Dam-RCB-small-559x420.jpg 559w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/rural-environment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2016\/12\/Aigas-Dam-RCB-small.jpg 1023w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also use SEPA\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.floodlinescotland.org.uk\/report-a-flood\">Report-a-Flood<\/a> tool which enables anyone to share information on current flooding issues, to help reduce the disruption flooding can have on people\u2019s lives and make communities more resilient.<\/p>\n<p>By preparing for flooding you can help reduce its impact and limit any potential property damage. Signing up to SEPA\u2019s Floodline service is an important first step as this provides free advance notification of flooding in your area direct to your phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n<p>If you are heading away over the season:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>be aware that travel routes and transport links can be disrupted by flooding (SEPA\u2019s website provides live flood updates which can help you to plan your route in advance)<\/li>\n<li>if your property is in a flood risk area, make sure you have left it as well flood protected as possible<\/li>\n<li>make sure you are signed-up to get free Floodline messages delivered to a phone you have away with you<\/li>\n<li>if action is required, try to have someone local aware and prepared to help<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re staying at home or travelling further afield over the festive period it\u2019s important to ensure your insurance provides adequate cover for flood damage and it\u2019s worth considering flood protection products that could help to reduce the impact of flooding on your property.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
