North Yorkshire Council is simplifying its approach to supporting communities who need access to sandbags during a flood incident.   

From the beginning of October 2024 if a member of public requires access to sandbags they should Google Sandbags North Yorkshire or use this link.   If there is an immediate need for sandbags then they can call 0300 131 2 131 and either say Sandbag when prompted or follow the instructions.

If your community requires additional support in a flood incident then please contact the Elected Member from your affected Electoral Division who will be able notify the Council. If you are unsure of your local member please use this map.

If you have any questions regarding your community emergency plan or you would like to discuss about creating a plan, please email emergency@northyorks.gov.uk and one of the Resilience and Emergencies Officers will contact you.
