Flood Alert Lifted for Easington and Kilnsea
The Environment Agency has confirmed that the flood threat along the North Sea coast at Easington and Kilnsea, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, is no longer in place.
What Happened
An earlier tide raised concerns about possible flooding along this stretch of coastline. That tide has now passed and the weather has become more settled. The Environment Agency states that no further flooding is expected at this time.
Current Situation
Although the immediate threat has passed, standing water and debris may still remain in the affected area. Conditions on waterside roads and footpaths may not yet be fully safe.
What You Should Do
Even though the alert has been lifted, the Environment Agency advises the public to take care in the area. In particular:
- Take care on waterside roads and footpaths. Surfaces may still be slippery or obstructed.
- Stay away from any remaining floodwater. Floodwater can contain hidden hazards, including open manhole covers, sewage, and chemicals. It is not safe to walk or drive through it.
- Do not put yourself in unnecessary danger. If an area looks unsafe, do not enter it.
Ongoing Monitoring
The Environment Agency has confirmed it will continue to monitor the situation. Further alerts or warnings will be issued if conditions change.
