Matthew Lawrence is asking people who live in areas with flood warnings to take precautions and be prepared:

"We'd encourage anyone in those properties to make sure they're signed up to flood warnings and have got a plan in place so if they are affected by flooding they can act quickly and safely to protect themselves and their important valuables."
