Recovery is underway to help communities across Cumbria recover from the flooding and severe weather brought by Storm Ciara at the weekend.
Teams from the Environment Agency have been on the ground in affected communities, including Appleby, Carlisle, Shap and Grange-over-Sands, since the weekend.
Community information officers have also visited towns and villages across the region offering information and advice as well as signposting people to help by working with local authorities.
Environment Agency staff are still protecting properties by making sure rivers are clear from blockages and ensuring assets are ready to operate.
The severe weather caused about 190 properties across Cumbria and Lancashire to be affected by flooding.
Matt Crump, Area Duty Manager for Cumbria and Lancashire: “We are proud of the spirit and resilience our communities, partners and staff have shown once again in their response to the intense and rainfall brought on by Storm Ciara."
