Join us at one of FOUR local events where you can:
✅ Meet national flood resilience champion ‘Flood Mary’
✅ Talk directly to our installers Watertight International
✅ See preparedness packs and learn how to create a flood plan
✅ Get practical tips on maintaining your flood measures.
✅ Plus chat to our project team about our wider programme of works – including our schedule of natural flood management works, progress with our community flood stores programme, or even how to become a local Flood Warden. Our emergency planning specialist will be on hand with info and training advice!
These informal drop-in events are open to everyone – especially those in our PFR scheme – but anyone who is worried about their risk of flooding.
Event Dates:
