The `eafm` integration offers integration with the [UK Environment Agency Flood Monitoring](https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/) API to provide sensors for nearby water levels. Combined with Home Assistant notifications, you could give yourself a warning if a nearby river was likely to flood your local cycle path or the only road out of your village.

The UK Environment Agency Flood Monitoring only provides data for England - Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have their own flood agencies.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant offers the flood monitoring integration through **Settings** -> **Devices & Services** -> **Environment Agency Flood Gauges**.
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted to select a monitoring station. You can find the name of nearby monitoring stations on the Flood information service [website](https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels).
|
|
|
|
Sensors for that monitoring station should then appear in your Home Assistant instance.
