Flood Review Website Launched for Public Comments

Published: Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:58:51

Sir Michael Pitt, the independent chair overseeing the government's Lessons Learned review into this summer's floods, is calling on those affected to log on and share their experiences.

The review, which is being led by the Cabinet Office, will study the emergency response to the floods in June and July and look at ways to reduce the risk and impact of flooding in future.

Sir Michael, who in the coming months will visit communities affected by the floods, welcomes comments, ideas and suggestions from all sections of the community regarding the review, as well as feedback on the experiences of those affected by the floods or whose home or business is susceptible to flooding.

The website has been set up to allow the public to submit their comments.

Sir Michael said:

"I intend to spend time visiting affected communities, talking to residents, local businesses and members of front-line services to get their first-hand experiences.

"In the meantime, I'd like people to log on to the website and share their comments - all contributions will be taken on board and will factor into the review process."
