Reporting Flooding
Published: 27 January 2026
Flood Recovery and Reporting
Following recent flooding, a recovery guide has been shared to support anyone affected. The guide includes practical advice on cleaning up and dealing with insurance, and we encourage residents to make use of it.
If your home or business has flooded, please report it as soon as you are able. Reporting helps authorities understand the impact on our community and prioritise both immediate responses and long-term solutions.
Flooding can be reported via:
Once residents are able, a full report should also be submitted at floodreport.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk. This service is available across Wessex and ensures information is shared with the correct flood risk management authorities.
Thank you for helping us build a clearer picture of flooding impacts in our area and supporting future prevention efforts.
