Flood Wessex (part of the Environ<\/a>ment Agency<\/a>) have written to us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It has been an exceptionally wet autumn and winter in Somerset. Between October and February, catchments such as the Axe and the Brue have seen their wettest period on record, and the whole county has been affected by extreme rainfall events. Hundreds of properties have been flooded in dozens of communities, either from surface water, groundwater or fluvial flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Together with our partners, Somerset Council and the Environment Agency have been working closely together to respond to flooding when it occurs, and to support communities to recover. As climate change makes wetter winters and extreme weather events more likely, community resilience is more important than ever, and we will continue to support communities to be as prepared as they can be for flooding.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have produced two new guides: a flood action guide<\/a> with preparedness information, and a recovery guide<\/a> for those recently affected by flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
