Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council are working hard to reduce the risk of flooding. They advise that:

People move any valuable belongings off the ground floor and consider what to do with cars if they are not in use- bear in mind that the emergency services may need access.
Contact friends and family now to make arrangements in case you need to vacate homes for at least a few days.

Pack things that are needed for a few days- don't forget medicines and other essentials.
If you can, protect doorways and put down toilet bungs for ground floor lavatories.
If you leave, switch off electricity and gas.
