Experts from emergency power specialist, Central Power Services, are warning that businesses in Devon must act now to ensure they can continue to run in the event of likely outages. The UK Government has issued a flood warning and recommended that people prepare for potential groundwater flooding caused by high levels of rainfall from Dolton to Bideford. Severe weather such as heavy rain and flooding can cause powercuts.
