NATIONAL KNOW YOUR FLOOD RISK WEEK
7th - 11th November 2011
1 in 4 British homes are at risk of flood yet 83% of homeowners do not consider themselves to be at risk*
This has to change!
You may recall in November 2010 we ran our inaugural National Flood Risk Awareness Week. This made a huge impact, with press coverage reaching nearly 30 million people, interviews being aired on over 140 radio stations, an MP reception attended by over 60 MPs and much more. Follow this link to explore our achievements in more detail.
Since our first National Flood Risk Awareness Week last year, the campaign continues to go from strength to strength. We now have over 250 members signed up to the Know Your Flood Risk (KYFR) campaign and at the recent ABI conference, Richard Benyon, MP fully endorsed our initiative.
As a result, and as part of our mission to continue raising the awareness of flood risk across the UK, we are launching the second “National Know Your Flood Risk Week” from 7th-11th November 2011. The event is planned to contain the following activities:
Monday 7th November
Flood Protection Exhibition and Workshop – Bodenham, Herefordshire
Tuesday 8th November
Radio interviews day with KYFR’s Executive Committee, London
Wednesday 9th November
Round table debate and MP reception – House of Commons, London
Thursday 10th November
Flood Risk Workshop – St. Blazey, Cornwall
Friday 11th November
Open day at UK Flood Barriers flood testing centre – Droitwich, Worcestershire
