    Alert Status Update

    There are currently no flood alerts or other expected risks to our community.

    Whilst we have identified no community-wide risks, we advise residents to remain vigilant and mindful to protect themselves, their neighbours and our wider community. We should be aware of risks to individual households, such as scams, cybercrime and theft. Always stay aware, and use this opportunity to prepare ourselves for any potential problems.

    Use the guidance on our website to protect yourselves.

  • Update on current river situation.

    Update on current river situation.

    Wraysbury Flood Team are meeting regularly and monitoring the river levels closely.
    The Thames is currently flowing at around 100mm above normal which means we might see some flooding to river front gardens. No house flooding is expected at this time, however we will continue to monitor and update regularly.

    We advise to keep a close eye on moorings, and adjust where necessary and when it’s safe to do so.

    We appreciate that surface water from the rain, can be worrying, so, please keep a close eye on your own property however we don’t have access to data to advise on specific areas.

    As always, stay safe, and feel free to reach out if you have any concerns

    Household flooding is not expected, but we would advise anyone, especially those with poorer mobility or health issues, who live in a flood prone area, to be prepared. Make a plan – will you need to move your car, where can you park it safely? Do you have a good supply of medication and essential food, what about your pets etc.

    Look at our flooding page for information and help.

    Getting Flood-Ready: A Calm & Practical Reminder

    With recent weather, this is simply a reminder to stay prepared — not a cause for concern. There’s no need to panic.

    Being prepared doesn’t mean expecting the worst. It simply helps ensure peace of mind and readiness if conditions change.
    Helpful, low-stress steps you can take:

    * Keep important documents in a safe, dry place
    * Check that you know safe routes to higher ground particularly if you need to move your vehicle.
    * Have basic essentials (like medications, chargers, and water) easily accessible.
    * Stay informed through official channels for accurate updates.

    There is no cause for panic. Local agencies continue to monitor conditions closely, and any important updates will be shared through official alerts if needed.

    A little preparation goes a long way — thank you for looking out for yourselves and your neighbours.
