That's a pretty bland statement, what's the reasoning for not wanting to leave, possessions perhaps?

For me it's agoraphobia, but that's a discussion for another thread, I would do all I could to prepare before hand, such as sandbagging, bring electrical items, food, valuables upstairs and torches or candles in case the power goes out, then wait for the water to subside, as long as its below 2 feet, any higher and I'd be scared of being trapped and having to be rescued from a window or the roof.

Been some interesting bits in the flood advice from Lincolnshire after the Wainfleet flooding, things I hadn't thought about.  People may leave in the actual rain event but returning and the clear up can be very traumatic and stressful . https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forecasts/news/7058-during-and-after-flooding-uk-part-2
