Mary Dhonau, Chief Executive of the Know Your Flood Risk Campaign explains: “As I see it, this is the antidote to DEFRA’s resilience action plan: the drive from government is that you must protect your property from flood, yet where on earth should people start? We’ve therefore launched a new edition of the Homeowners’ Guide to Flood Resilience, which includes a much-needed design of a flood resilient prototype home that walks readers through all the interventions that can be taken.   

Know Your Flood Risk launches new practical Guide to Flood Resilience

• Former flood victims take action and deliver practical guidance on making homes flood resilient
• Many real life case study examples published, following interviews with flood victims
• Guide aims to empower people to be aware, prepare and take practical precautions to reduce the impact of flooding

With the first anniversary of the Christmas 2015 floods approaching, the Know Your Flood Risk campaign is today launching a new edition of its free Homeowners’ Guide to Flood Resilience, which has been created by former flood victims, Mary Dhonau OBE and Carly Rose, to provide practical guidance on the steps required to make a home resilient to flood water.

As Mary Dhonau, Chief Executive of the Know Your Flood Risk Campaign explains: “As I see it, our Guide greatly complements the resilience action plan that was launched by Floods Minister Coffey last week: the drive from government has been that you must protect your property from flood, yet where on earth should people start? We’ve launched a new edition of the Homeowners’ Guide to give those at risk much needed practical information, which includes a design of a flood resilient prototype home that walks readers through all the interventions that can be taken.
