Flood Action Week: LGA statement
Extreme weather preparation is a key priority for councils, who develop comprehensive plans to cope with any bad weather, to protect residents and businesses, and to recover as quickly as possible.
Responding to the launch of Flood Action Week, Cllr Adam Hug, Environment spokesperson for the LGA, said:
“Council staff are on the front line working to prepare for severe storms to ensure the safety of residents, homes and businesses, shore up flood defences, and protect road networks and power supplies as much as possible.
“Extreme weather preparation is a key priority for councils, who develop comprehensive plans to cope with any bad weather, to protect residents and businesses, and to recover as quickly as possible.
“Councils share severe weather warnings and other relevant information so people should make sure they regularly check their council’s website and social media and follow their advice.”
