正文(英文) | ‘Floodmobile’ to visit at-risk communities in CalderdaleThe Floodmobile is visiting Brighouse and Todmorden on 24 and 25 March to raise awareness about flood risks and what people can do to protect their properties.
The Floodmobile, a specially adapted mobile home that showcases over 50 examples of different products that can better protect properties, will be visiting communities in Brighouse and Todmorden at the end of this month. The mobile home aims to promote options for homes and businesses that will allow them to adapt to the increasing flood risks brought about by climate change. It is scheduled to make an appearance at the Tesco car park on Huddersfield Road, Brighouse, on Thursday 24 March, followed by the Aldi car park on Burnley Road, Todmorden, on Friday 25 March. The Floodmobile highlights the need for property adaptation, particularly in flood-prone areas, which will also increase the likelihood of a quicker recovery following a flood. Examples of measures that can be installed include waterproof plaster, pumps, barriers, flood doors, non-return valves, self-closing air bricks, periscope covers, and recoverable kitchens. Paul Swales, Senior Flood Risk Advisor at the Environment Agency said:
Cllr Scott Patient, Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Resilience, said:
Mary Dhonau, a flood victim and campaigner also known as “Flood Mary” said:
The Environment Agency, in partnership with Calderdale Council, is developing the Brighouse Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS) to better protect 216 homes in the area. Members of the project team will be at the Brighouse event to answer any questions regarding the scheme. For more information about the Brighouse FAS, please visit the Eye on Calderdale webpage. You can sign up to receive updates about the scheme via email, please email ‘subscribe’ to BrighouseFAS@environment-agency.gov.uk. The Environment Agency provides a Flood Warning Service to over 8000 properties and business in the Upper Calder Valley, which aims to provide residents and businesses with essential time to prepare for flooding and act immediately. To find out if you are living in a flood risk area and for information about how to sign up for flood alerts and warnings, please visit the Environment Agency website or contact Floodline on 03459 88 11 88.
