Londoners are being advised to sign up for flood warnings due to concerns about extreme weather caused by a "Godzilla" El Niño hitting the UK this winter. The Environment Agency launched Flood Action Week and a new website designed to provide easy access to flood risk information and protective guidance. £4.2 billion has been invested into flood defenses, aimed at bolstering resilience against severe weather conditions in the coming years. Floods Minister Emma Hardy emphasized that while climate change increases the likelihood of sudden extreme weather, the government is better prepared than ever before. The agency’s director for floods, Caroline Douglass, stressed the importance of understanding and preparing for flood risks to protect communities across England.
