Assurance is being given to the community of Whaley Bridge and surrounding areas that appropriate measures are in place for the heavy rainfall expected this weekend.
An amber weather warning has been issued for the High Peak meaning localised flooding can be expected.
The Canal and River Trust are monitoring the water levels in Toddbrook Reservoir and if water reaches a level of concern the residents in the evacuation zone will be the first to know.
Deputy Chief Constable Rachel Swann said: “The ongoing multi-agency work means that we are in a much better position to react to any risks from the dam and any rainfall that may cause local flooding.”
A multi-agency hub is in place at Whaley Bridge Primary School, 45 Buxton Road, Whaley Bridge, for residents and businesses.
There are representatives from High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire police, Electricity North West, Cadent Gas, United Utilities, social care, Environment Agency and mental health services. This are to remain in place for the next six days.
