正文(英文) | Environment Agency urges vigilance as Storm Eunice brings threat of severe floodingThe Environment Agency is urging coastal communities in the south west and south coasts of England to prepare for expected flooding impacts from Storm Eunice. The Environment Agency is urging coastal communities in the south west and south coasts of England, especially communities along the tidal River Severn and Wye in Gloucestershire, to prepare for expected flooding impacts from Storm Eunice. The storm is continuing to bring strong winds across the UK, resulting in high waves and a potential storm surge coinciding with high spring tides. As a result of this extreme weather, severe flood warnings, meaning there is a threat to life, will be issued for parts of the tidal Severn Estuary and River Wye in Gloucestershire. In addition, as of 13:30pm, there are a further 11 flood warnings, meaning that flooding is expected, and 58 flood alerts, meaning that flooding is likely. It is expected that these numbers will rise over the coming hours. The Environment Agency is working around the clock to help keep communities and people safe. Teams are working to erect barriers, clear screens and close flood gates along the tidal River Severn, the south west of England and other affected areas. Incident rooms have also been scaled up in affected areas to support potentially impacted communities. Members of the public are also being urged to sign up for free flood warnings and ensure they know what to do in case of flooding. Stefan Laeger, the Environment Agency’s Flood Duty Manager, said:
