Sarah Jackaman's cottage in Montford Bridge has flooded nearly every year since she moved in.
Sarah has since become a 'flood resilience advocate', calling on people to fully prepare for the inevitable when rivers burst their banks.
"So there was nowhere for that second storm water to have gone, and that's what caused this flooding, and what's caused it to flood so quickly - the rivers have come up really quickly and the flows are much stronger because of Friday.
"Part of is being informed and knowledgable on how to read the rivers, how to understand the flows and the peaks," she says: Sarah says the community pulling together is "a great help and support," with neighbours becoming "very good friends" thanks to the shared experience of battling the floods. "And they recommend that you write a plan of how you'll put up your furniture , how you'll lift everything up out of the way."
