<p>Temporary flood defences are being put up in a bid to protect communities as river levels rise following heavy rainfall in parts of northern England.</p>
<p>Householders braced themselves as the Environment Agency issued 14 flood alerts in Cumbria and said they were monitoring the situation in low-lying areas across the North West.</p>
<p>Two flood warnings were given &#8211; one for Appleby and one for the Keswick Campsite.</p>
<p>According to the Environment Agency, a flood warning means flooding is expected and that immediate reaction is required. A flood alert indicates flooding is possible and advises residents to be prepared for such an eventuality.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the agency said: &#8220;We have put up temporary flood defences in Appleby on the River Eden. There has been heavy rainfall from early this morning (Saturday) and it will continue through to Sunday morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some bands of heavy rain are coming through so we are closely watching Appleby.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Environment Agency said the rainfall could lead to the flooding of some properties, roads and land in Cumbria and Lancashire.</p>
<p>Staff from the agency have been removing debris from the rivers in a bid to prevent blockages that could cause flooding.</p>
<p>The spokesman said the aim is to make sure everyone in the affected areas &#8220;is as prepared as possible&#8221;.</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;If you live in Cumbria we would urge people to check the Environment Agency website for the latest flood situation in your area and sign-up for free flood warnings. While those living in Appleby, Kendal, Burnside and Keswick should tune into their local radio stations, ensure important documents are in a safe place and check their flood plans.&#8221;</p>
