Businesses and home owners along the rivers Trent and Dove are hoping to escape a repeat of the flooding that struck the area three weeks ago.
As the rain continues to fall across the country people in south Derbyshire are anxiously watching the rising waters inch closer to the homes.
Emergency sandbags have been distributed by South Derbyshire District Council in a bid to keep the water out of people's homes.
Alan Sharpe and David Hogg, groundsmen for the council, were putting out the sandbags.
Alan said: "We started bagging up last week to get ready for it.
"We have been out delivering the bags since Friday and hopefully the houses will be alright."
