The warm and dry weather could end with terrible flash flooding as torrential rain falls onto bone hard dry ground.

The millions of gallons of water that comes with a heavy summer downfall means the water will hit the ground and then run off it rather than soaking in, putting homes and businesses at serious risk of severe flood damage.

That’s why it’s vital to be always prepared for flash flooding with FloodSax alternative sandbags as they take just minutes to deploy.

Local councils have absolutely no responsibility to provide sandbags and, even if they do, are highly unlikely to be able to deploy them in time when a flash flood is imminent.
