The north of England is braced for fresh severe flooding over the Christmas period.
Storm Eva is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to some areas of Cumbria which have been flooded three times in a month.
Several rivers have burst their banks again, and the army is being used to provide support ahead of further rainfall.
Mary Dhonau of the National Flood Forum says homeowners do need to protect themselves rather than just relying on local flood defences.
