With an increase in heavy rain - We wanted to remind you that if you find that partially or completely a road is flooding that you make us aware on 999 at the time. As officers can come out and manage any traffic or incidents as a result of the flooding.
Many parts of Derbyshire can be affected by widespread flooding. Road closures are often put in place to keep people safe and away from danger. An up-to-date list of road closures is always available on Derbyshire County Council Website at https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/transport-roads/roads-traffic/roadworks/roadworks.aspx Do not ignore Road Closed signs, they are there to protect you and your vehicle from harm and damage from flood water. Just 60cm of standing water will float your car. Just 30cm of flowing water could be enough to move your car. Just 15cm of fast-flowing water can knock you off your feet. A mere egg cupful of water could be enough to wreck your engine. For more information about keeping safe during the floods follow Derbyshire Police, Derbyshire County Council and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service on social media. | ||
