Don’t be a victim of waste crime.

Somerset faces unique challenges when it comes to extreme weather.

That's why we're investing £50 million into flood resilience measures to increase protection for homes, farms and food security across the region.

We’re hard at work protecting communities across the country.

93% of our flood assets are at or above their target conditions, but what does this mean for you?

It’s simple: fewer properties damaged, less businesses disrupted, and faster recovery.

Could you spot an unregistered waste carrier?

If you use one, your rubbish could end up illegally dumped and you could be fined.

This isn’t fly‑tipping. It’s organised profit-driven waste criminals who thrive when no one speaks up.

Reporting organised crime is anonymous.

Call Crimestoppers if you see them operating in your area.

It’s not always as warm in the water as it is on land.

The water in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water can be much colder than expected, so always check water temperatures before going in.

If you do get into difficulties while in the water, remember #FloatToLive.

The weather's still warm🌞

But don't be fooled - our rivers are cold even in the summer.

Swimming or jumping into cold water can cause cold water shock.

Remember #FloatToLive.

It could save your life.

In Langrick in Lincs we have been transporting granite rocks along the river so they could be placed along the edge of flood banks.

Over time, these edges can wear away. If left untreated, that can lead to serious damage.

What we’re doing here is getting ahead of that risk.

[Environment Agency @EnvAgency]

Rivers, locks, weirs and sluices may look like fun places to cool down this #HalfTerm, but they can contain hidden dangers.
