Katherine Turner said there was the "Blitz spirit" in the village, with "local farmers ferrying doctors and staff to and from the town and to the local nursing home".
She said: "We can only do our bit by trying to be open and provide a bit of an area for people to get together if they can."
Drivers are moving "road closed" signs and driving down routes where there is flood water, West Mercia Police says.
