NSDC are continuing to offer support to help residents and businesses affected by Storm Babet. Applications for the Government’s flood response framework are still being accepted, with around 200 applications received to date and over £73,500 already paid out.
Nottinghamshire residents are being urged to remain vigilant as our communities continue to recover from the extensive flooding and disruption caused by Storm Babet.
A major incident was declared in the county at the weekend following the heavy rainfall, which caused rivers and streams to burst their banks – leaving many homes and businesses under water.
The severe weather presented the Nottinghamshire Local Resilience Forum (LRF) – a multi-agency partnership made up of local authorities and emergency services – with complex and challenging situations to tackle and overcome.
Residents whose homes have flooded are reminded they are eligible for support through the fund, which offers a one-off payment of £120.
Your local place of safety in the event of your property becoming flooded is the Memorial Hall, Hight Street, Collingham
Amber and yellow weather warnings are in place for Newark and Sherwood because of Storm Babet.
