It's #floodactionweek & I'm kicking it off in Westminster tomorrow working alongside @floodre helping to launch the brand new #floodmobile. It's packed full of #PFR & will travel into newly #flooded areas to help people during their recovery.
Photos tomorrow!

If you think you may #flood due to all the rain
it's really important that you prepare for it, to reduce the damage & heartbreak. Here's a blog which shows you how to prepare using 'stuff' you may have around the house.

When @floodmary.bsky.social’s home was severely flooded by sewage in the great floods of 2000, her 3-year-old son had just been diagnosed with autism. It took 9 long months to repair. Since then she’s dedicated her life to helping others.

I headed to meet @floodmary.bsky.social at one of her advice clinics. Her flood-mobile is kitted with props to demonstrate how people can protect their homes at cost-effective ways. Simple things like covering air bricks with aluminium tape stops water coming through.

Meet @floodmary.bsky.social aka Mary Mary Long-Dhonau, who became an anti-flood + climate campaigner after her family home was deluged by sewage.
She describes impact on her kids, one of whom is autistic, precious keepsakes lost - and why she wants to protect others.

6 million UK properties are at risk of flooding - set to rise to 8 milion by mid-century. We cannot afford to close our eyes to the risk.

Warning from @floodmary.bsky.social of risk to safety if flood defence budgets are cut as part of the Chancellor's spending review - a move Mary describes as utterly self-defeating, flood damage likely to lead to increased spending across the board.
