Re: Flood Awareness

Sorry it was late notice, I didn't find this site earlier.

We anticipate to be holding more events in the area, so I'll post them when we have dates confirmed.

Many of the rivers through towns in Lancashire are culverted, so many people may not even be aware they are close to a river. Problems can occur when the culverts become overloaded with heavy rainfall, however other problems such as debris blocking an entrance could cause a flood.

We are firstly trying to raise awareness of flood risk, but also provide advice on planning for a flood and we would also like to help people form community flood groups. Community flood groups are useful so that the river is checked for debris regularly, and neighbours who are away/vulnerable can be helped or protected.

If you have any questions then I'll try and answer them here, or you can email [email protected]
