Severe weather
What if we are affected by severe weather?
While freak weather incidents like Hurricane Katrina are unlikely to affect Barnet, the borough has suffered from flooding, heatwaves and other extreme weather in the past.
The council has formulated plans to deal with severe weather incidents, such as floods, especially for the borough's elderly and vulnerable.
You can keep updated on the latest weather forecasts from the BBC, who also provide weather warnings and features on climate change and the impact it can have on the world.
If the borough were to be subject to a severe weather incident, you may be asked to evacuate your home or place of work. Please respond promptly and in an organised fashion to any directions given to you by either local authority or emergency services officers.
