This page is for Flood Wardens and community volunteers in the Wessex area, shown on the map below. It provides Flood Wardens with information, resources and useful links to help strengthen preparedness, and is also a place to connect with other communities and with the local Environment Agency team.
Volunteers such as Flood Wardens play an important role in helping the people around them prepare for, respond to and recover from flooding. The Environment Agency works closely with Flood Wardens, sharing information and guidance, and keeping in regular communication so they can support their communities during flood events.
Flood Warden Coordinator and Environment Agency Staff
The most resilient communities are those that understand their flood risk, sign up for flood warnings, have effective emergency plans in place and work together before flooding happens. By taking practical steps to prepare, communities can reduce the impacts of flooding and recover more quickly when it occurs.
