You only need a single telephone number to report a flood:
- 0300 2000 100
This number is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You don’t have to decide which organisation you need to ring and you don’t have to contact the Rivers Agency, TransportNI or NI Water – this will be done for you.
When you ring, a member of staff will take all your details and contact the right agency on your behalf. This is a non emergency number so if you are in danger call the emergency services on 999. (Source)
