New guide aims to build flood resilience

With the first anniversary of the Christmas 2015 floods approaching, the Know Your Flood Risk campaign has launched a new edition of its free Homeowners’ Guide to Flood Resilience. It has been created by former flood victims, Mary Dhonau and Carly Rose, to provide practical guidance on the steps required to make a home resilient to flood water.

Mary Dhonau, chief executive of the campaign, described it as ‘the antidote to Defra’s resilience action plan’, adding, ‘the drive from government is that you must protect your property from flood, yet where on earth should people start?’
