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.

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.

  • Floodmobile coming to Dorchester Wednesday 11 November

    supporting image

    The Floodmobile is coming to Dorchester on Wednesday 11 November, 8am - 3pm. This event is open to everyone and the Floodmobile will be manned by Environment Agency and Dorset Council Flood Risk Management staff.

    We need your help in promoting this to your community, especially those in flood risk areas and those affected by flooding this last winter. Please share the leaflet with your community – this could include posting it on your parish website, community page, social media pages and newsletters. Printed copies could be shared with those people you know would have been impacted and also placed in your village halls, local shop, surgery, pub or community info hub. The Floodmobile offers a great opportunity for people to see dozens of different Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures and learn more about how they can be better prepared for flooding.

    If you want to learn more about the Floodmobile and the different types of Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures onboard, see Flood Mary’s video: https://youtu.be/-HW7TMARHHQ?si=h_5xsafV0C2oGJhc

    Many thanks for all your continued support and please get in touch if you have any queries.

    We hope to see many of you at an event soon!
