COMMUNITY FLOOD RESILIENCE
FLOODING is a growing concern, with an estimated 6.3 million properties (homes and businesses) in England in areas currently at risk of flooding from one or a combination of sources.
In order to boost community and personal flood resilience, there are some key measures we can take.
