The Lower Severn Community Flood Information NetworkThe Lower Severn Community Flood Information Network aims to work with communities along the middle to lower Severn to increase community engagement and participation in establishing, analysing, debating, disseminating and 'owning' their local flood history and risk information within a longer-term environmental change context. A large number of communities along the middle to lower Severn have been involved in the project - particularly urban communities of Bewdley, Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn, Tewkesbury and Gloucester and rural communities of Deerhurst/Apperley, Tirley, Sandhurst, Minsterworth and Elmore. The Network is not a campaigning forum
- rather it is an opportunity for people to engage with the scientific
evidence on changing flood risk. The Network is also working
with the National Flood
Forum and Environment
Agency to ensure that individuals living on floodplains are
both aware of flood risk and what to do in preparation for future
flooding. |
