With the ongoing effects of climate change, many more communities could be at increased risk of flooding. As different organisations tackle different types of flooding in different places, partnership working is crucial, and these events focus on further strengthening those partnerships. The conferences also bring together partner organisations with local communities because collaboration leads to more successful resilience and recovery from flooding.
The conferences are open to all, whether an individual or a community who have been directly affected by flooding previously, or they want to know how they can help others who are at risk of flooding.
