People visiting Devon and Cornwall need to be prepared for sudden floods say officials.
People visiting Devon and Cornwall need to be prepared should flash floods occur, officials have said.
The agency advised people near Devon and Cornwall's waterways to sign up to Met Office weather warnings and to have access to flood alerts. She said: "It's really different to that kind of regular flooding that we see from rivers and the sea, so part of the reason of why it's so dangerous is it can basically happen really suddenly.
The campaign encourages people to look out for warning signs including heavy rain and fast rising water levels, having a plan in case a flash flood occurs and knowing the evacuation procedures at the place they are staying.
