Bucks Communities are being given the opportunity to get flood resistance training.
Local charity Community Impact Bucks is running a series of six training sessions for Bucks residents who would like to develop their community’s resilience to emergencies such as flooding, snow, other severe weather events or utilities failures.
During the Flood Resilience online training sessions (2 February – 8 March 2022), attendees will find out what community resilience means and what it could look like, how to develop an action plan, and also how to apply for a grant from the Heart of Bucks’ Flood Recovery and Awareness Fund which could be used for:
- Capital items to replace those destroyed by flooding
- Emergency repairs as a result of flood damage
- Venue/room hire costs for relocating activities as a result of flooding
- Community projects to prevent future flooding
- Training for flood damage/prevention
Each of the two-hour sessions will include the same training content but there will be an opportunity for those attending to discuss the flood issues specific to one of the focus areas of:
- Chesham
- Aylesbury/ Weston Turville/ Wendover
- Marlow/ Little Marlow/ Bisham
- Chalfonts and Missendens
- Buckingham/ River Ouse
- Hughenden Valley/ Radnage.
