If your home is affected by a flood, it’s important to clean up fully to help protect the health of you and your family.
Floodwater and sewage often leaves a muddy deposit but previous flooding and sewage contamination has shown that the risk to health is small, and you won’t need any booster immunisations or antibiotics.
If you or anyone in your family gets symptoms such as sickness, diarrhoea or tummy cramps, see your GP.
