THE Environment Agency now says that anti-flood devices like FloodSax® are the way forward for people to protect their home.
On its website it warns people to prepare beforehand as they just won’t have enough time to react to flooding emergencies.In its online illustration of a house http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/static/documents/Leisure/House_Illustration_3.pdf the Agency states: “Flood sacks are a lighter, modern version of sandbags. The sacks need to be soaked in water so they expand, then placed around the entrances to your home to protect against floodwater. They take up little storage and can be cost effective.’’
And the Agency warns: “The most important thing is to prepare now by buying flood products in advance. Don’t wait until flooding looks likely as you won’t have time to buy or put the measures in place.’’
