Household flood resilience and protection

Household-level flood resilience and protection measures can help reduce damage, disruption and negative impacts on health. They offer a more effective alternative to the use of sandbags and can significantly reduce recovery times and clean-up costs, making it easier and quicker for people to move back into their homes.

Defra, in association with CIRIA and LANDFoRM are holding four regional one-day events as part of Defra's current consultation on policy options for promoting such measures.

The aim of the workshops is to explain and discuss the Government's draft proposals, to obtain informal feedback from participants on the options being considered and to help participants focus their thinking before they write their formal responses to the consultation.
