BACKGROUND<\/strong>  We have had 2 significant events this year so  Resilience Day is a real opportunity to prepare for Autumn and Winter. With Climate change a reality it is even more important that we are fully prepared for any flooding.  Having spoken to B&NES and EA following last year\u2019s events, it\u2019s clear that while they are ready to help  us, we must be able to protect ourselves in the first instance including road flooding which is a regular occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteer wardens who are now very experienced.  2024 will be the tenth year since the team was formed.  <\/strong>We need more warden volunteers to support the existing team to allow them to take a couple of hours rest when flooding occurs over a long period \u2013 would you be willing to join us?  Full training is given and you can tell us how much time you\u2019re prepared to give and what you are prepared to do<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest Centre: Old School Room  <\/strong>  Upgrade to resources<\/strong>:   The Parish has  always provided resources but now B&NES, recognising the excellence of the OSR and our  organisation,  have issued us with a large set of comprehensive support materials  to use in the centre<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you be able to be one of the volunteers to help in the Rest centre supplying kindness with refreshments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come and see me on Saturday 2 September or contact me (details below).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
