What should I do?
If you have a flooding emergency please contact Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service on 999.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service’s main responsibility is saving lives, property and the environment. They will also support other agencies to alleviate flooding as part of a joined up approach as can be seen below.
During a flooding incident you should focus on the safety of yourself and others and stay out of floodwater as it is often not clean and can lead to infections and illness.
See our Help I’m Flooding page for more details on what to do.
