Lower Severn Community Flood Information Network

Welcome to the project

'Promoting community engagement with flood history and awareness of flood risk'

Welcome to the homepage of the Lower Severn Community Flood Information Network.
This exciting University of Gloucestershire initiative was funded by the Royal Society and the Environment Agency from August 2004 - July 2006, with a further contribution from the Cheltenham & Gloucester plc.  The project aims to promote awareness of local flood histories and flood risk along the River Severn and capture information from, and experiences of, individuals and communities affected by the River Severn's long history of flooding (see project aims).

From here you can:

• read a detailed introduction to the project

• access a range of information about past floods on the River Severn

• find out what you can do to help

• check out the opportunities to participate and see what project events are due to take place. Please note that the project is currently looking for funding to develop further activities. Watch this space.

You can also:

• see what project events have already been held

• go to other useful links for websites and organisations related to the project.
