The following emailed invitation has been received by LOSRA from Surrey County Council:
"In partnership with the Environment Agency and Runnymede BC, Surrey County Council is holding a community emergency flood plan workshop on Saturday 24th November 2012.
The workshop will be from 10:00 to 14:00 at the Runnymede Centre, Chertsey Rd., Addlestone KT15 2EP. Refreshments will be provided.
"The free workshop is specifically targeted at community groups who live in flood risk areas and are interested in developing their own local community flood plan. The workshop is open to community groups at risk of flooding from across Surrey.
"We will discuss the community emergency plan template and then go through a generic flooding scenario. We will look at the actions responders would take and what local communities can do to help themselves.
"There should also be representatives from Surrey Fire & Rescue Service and the National Flood Forum in attendance to support the delegates in developing their plans.
If a community group would like to attend, please book by contacting John Cooper (EA) before the end of September: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or on 01276 454623"
