Despite the fact that the flood risk anticipated by many seems to have lessened in numerous parts of Britain, consumers have been advised to remain vigilant in case of future poor weather.
In light of this, Lloyds TSB has published a number of guidelines to help those that may need to make a
home insurance claim for damage to their residence or possessions.
Managing director of the firm Phil Loney commented: "Although the anticipated floods have not hit the UK as badly as expected this time around, there's no changing the fact that this type of severe weather is becoming more common.
"That makes it more important than ever for homeowners prepare themselves for the worst," he added.
Advice from the firm included contacting insurance companies as soon as possible to register a claim, not throwing away damaged items as an insurer may wish to inspect them and always having the policy number and other details to hand when contacting a provider.
Cornhill Direct advised consumers to prepare for potential poor weather by preparing flood pack with items such as blankets, a torch and first-aid kit in it.
