Testing flood protection products
More than five-and-a-half million properties in England and Wales are deemed to be at risk from flooding.
The Environment Agency acknowledges that it is impossible to completely flood-proof a property, but there are a number of measures to prevent flood-water getting in and limit the damage.
The BBC's Bob Walker visits the flood research centre at HR Wallingford in Oxfordshire to see how flood protection products are tested.
