The fire service failed to check the home of an 83-year-old woman later found drowned in floodwater, an inquest heard.
Maureen Gilbert, who was housebound, was discovered floating in the water by her son Paul Gilbert at her home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire after the River Rother burst its banks and flooded her house during Storm Babet.
She was one of at least seven people who died during the storm which caused disruption across the UK in October 2023.
An inquest into her death on Tuesday heard firefighters did not go back to the property after a request to recheck Mrs Gilbert's home was 'mislogged' while Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service's control room systems were down.
Chesterfield Coroner's Court was told the fire service had tried to reach Mrs Gilbert at her terraced property on the evening of October 20 but could not get to her.
