Emergency services are taking part in a major exercise to replicate serious flooding across south Wales.
Exercise Polygon will set different scenarios - including people trapped in homes in a flooded Cardiff and concerns over high water levels at the Pontsticill dam above Merthyr Tydfil.
The operation is being planned by 15 organisations who make up the Joint Emergency Services Group (JESG).
