When the systems we rely on stop working.
Power cuts, flood warnings, banking outages and disruptions that affect everyday life. See what happened, what's officially reported now, and why a little preparation matters.
Counts cover sources monitored here, not all emergencies. A flood warning is not necessarily an actual service outage.
The disruption timeline
Official current flood warnings and verified incidents from the archive.
Facts, not fear.
Current alerts come from their named official source; past incidents are separately researched and labelled resolved. This is an awareness tool, not a real-time emergency alert service or a substitute for government warnings. Feed interruptions are shown explicitly rather than as zero alerts. For emergencies follow the relevant authorities. This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta).
