If you’ve been affected by the flooding in the wake of Storm Desmond, we want to hear from you. Has your community been flooded? Are you without power or water? 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.
