York City Council Give Clear-Up Advice Following the Floods
5:16pm 28th September 2012
Clean-up after the floods: General advice for residents cleaning up after a flood from the City of York Council:
- · Always ensure you wear waterproof gloves and footwear to prevent any contaminates coming into contact with the skin
- · Avoid eating and smoking whilst clearing up and make sure hands are thoroughly washed before doing either
- · Wash any areas of skin that have come into contact with flood water, silt or other rubbish
- · Be mindful of weight when lifting any bags – wet bags are heavier than dry ones
- · If bags do tear, please clear any spillages quickly and place in a clean, dry bag without overfilling it..
- · Don’t overfill refuse bags as they will be very heavy and may tear when lifted causing further problems
Customers affected by flooding who need emergency assistance over the weekend for flood recovery can call City of York Council on 07768 937400 BETWEEN 10AM- 4PM SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Important safety message from York City Council: members of the public are being asked by all agencies to keep clear from operational staff and equipment diverting traffic and clearing flood water (and not to remove safety signs or diversion signs).
