Community Flood Planning

RBWM is committed to engaging with communities to assist in the pre planning and preparation of Community  Plans. Such plans are aimed at engaging residents / volunteers to provide self help in the first instance and raise awareness of emergency planning in the community.

The production of such plans is not statutory but it is recognised as "best practice".

Templates, information and plans in place will be recorded on this page when available.

All Community Plans should be produced in consultation with the Borough's Emergency Planning Unit.
