Listening out for flood warnings and having plenty of sandbags to hand were pieces of advice given to consumers by home insurance provider MORE TH>N in recent days.

The provider also recommends that consumers keep their insurance company's contact details close to hand and consider where their car is parked and if it is in a safe location should a flood occur.
