Christmas 2013 turned into a nightmare for many people across the UK as torrential rain and strong winds battered the country.
It resulted in flood waters piling into households, fields and even caravan parks in coastal towns and areas bordering some of the nation’s biggest rivers.
Lincolnshire was hit hard by the adverse weather and now caravan site owners are being invited to a free ‘prepare for flooding’ event, Lincolnshire Echo reports.
The meeting is due to take place on 23 January at the Embassy Theatre in Skegness and will offer advice to people on how they should better protect themselves in the event of flood and how to evacuate accordingly.
It will be run by Lincolnshire joint Emergency Management Service and will have a host of key speakers giving their views on the night.
Hayley Harrison, emergency planning officer at Lincolnshire County Council, told the news provider: “The day will also give you the opportunity to bring along any flood evacuation plan that you may have for your site and talk to emergency responders about your plan, working with them to ensure your plan is as effective as it can be.”
