The army has been deployed after the effects of Storm Desmond left more than 60,000 homes in the north of England without power. Cumbria was the most affected county, with schools and hospitals closed and nearly 50 severe flood warnings remaining in place in north-west England.
If you’ve been affected by the flooding, we want to hear from you. Has your community been flooded? Are you without power or water? Are you unable to go to work, or are your children off school? Let us know your stories by filling out the form below. You can share videos and images of your experiences via GuardianWitness.
Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security is most important. When responding to this assignment, please make sure you put your safety and the safety of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
