Environment Agency Flood Resilience Engagement Advisors help flood wardens and community groups understand flood risk and prepare for, respond to and recover from flooding through advice and guidance. They support community flood plans and resilience activities but do not provide equipment or assume responsibility for volunteer safety or activities.
