Emergency Information Alerts
I thought that, considering the wide range of extreme weather conditions we are now getting, it would be worth reminding people of the various ways that we can be sent emergency and warning alerts.
Floodline Warnings Direct - Environment Agency
(Will send targeted alerts via Text, email and voicemessage if danger of flooding in your area)

Huntingdonshire Emergency Warning System - HEWS
HEWS is a warning system which has been developed by Huntingdonshire District Council Emergency Planning Team to advise members of any possible difficulties created by a major incident in the District.
