Is your plot at risk of flooding?

Is the plot within about 100 m of a river, stream or drainage channel?

Is the plot lower than the road or the land around it?

Have you seen water marks, stains or dried mud on nearby walls, fences or trees?

Do neighbouring houses have raised floors, small walls at the doors or sandbags?

Does the soil stay wet and sticky, or do reeds and other water-loving plants grow there?

Are the drains near the plot missing, blocked or full of rubbish?

Have neighbours or local mtaa leaders said the area has flooded before?
