Event purpose

The events will provide members of the public the opportunity to speak to various flood risk management authorities and organisations to better understand their flood risk, find out what is being done to mitigate flood risk, and learn about how they can improve their personal resilience to flooding.

Organisations attending the events include:

• Environment Agency
