Flood Control: Surrey Heath
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to strengthen flood resilience in Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Emma Hardy
The Environment Agency’s flood risk management teams continue to work with partners, providing advice, support and guidance to flood groups and communities in the key flood risk areas in Surrey Heath. This includes Chobham, Pirbright and Normandy. Environment Agency representatives attend biannual flood forum meetings with those communities, providing ongoing support and guidance on flood resilience within the borough.
Residents in communities at risk of flooding from rivers can also sign up to the Environment Agency's free Get Flood Warnings service, which sends alerts by phone, text, or email.
