With information gathered from other pages, the Met Office weather forecast, and members of the Millom and Haverigg Resilience Group, we’ve decided to release this poster.
Our aim is simple: to keep residents safe. Many may think it’s “just a bit of water,” but even shallow flooding can damage vehicles and spread illness. Some car insurance will not cover driving through flood water. Please take this warning seriously.
More rain to be expected by 6pm
