Have You Performed Your Own Flood Risk Assessment?
Friday, January 16th, 2004The climate of our world is changing and it would seem it is changing more and more with each passing day. Looking back at the summer of 2007 and the complete difference between 2007 and 2006 it has become apparent that the amount of rain that the UK is getting will probably increase over the next few years. With this in mind we ask have you performed your own Flood Risk Assessment?
As the graphic pictures of the flooding in the UK have shown in the past few months whole towns have been up to the top floors of properties because rivers have burst their banks or surged. Roads have been washed away, cars have been more like boats than road worthy transportation as those with dinghy s and canoes have had more success getting to and from work than those with cars and bikes. And those with the methods of getting around in the wet conditions didn t necessarily perform a flood risk assessment but more likely have their holiday dingy or hobby canoe to hand when the waters struck!
The floods don t ju (more...)
