Flooding or Drought
The risk of flood or drought conditions
throughout the UK is increasing and even though we are aware of
this fact it may never be possible technically or financially to
introduce measures that are sufficient to prevent this from
happening.
Therefore the UK as a whole is seeking to manage
the risks through the provision of better warning and defence
systems and the provision of better information and awareness to
the population on dealing with the problem.
More detailed advice and information about floods
and drought conditions can be found at the
Environment Agency,
DEFRA and the Met Office websites.
Bassetlaw District Council works together with
its partner agencies to respond to emergency situations brought
about by flooding or drought.
The lead agency for flooding and drought in the
District is the Environment Agency.
