Flood Action Online brings together risk checks, warning information and practical guidance for people in England.

- The UK government says the service helps people check whether their homes are at risk and find flood warnings and Met Office weather alerts.
- The government also set a target to improve flood protection for 200,000 properties.

Why it matters: The service is intended to make flood-risk information and preparedness guidance easier to find.
