Flood Review website launched for public comments
4 September 2007
Sir Michael Pitt, the independent chair overseeing the government's
Lessons Learned review into this summer's floods, is calling on those
affected to log on and share their experiences.
The review, which is being led by the Cabinet Office, will study the
emergency response to the floods in June and July and look at ways to
reduce the risk and impact of flooding in future.
Sir Michael, who in the coming months will visit communities affected by
the floods, welcomes comments, ideas and suggestions from all sections of
the community regarding the review, as well as feedback on the experiences
of those affected by the floods or whose home or business is susceptible to
flooding.
Sir Michael said:
"I intend to spend time visiting affected communities, talking to
residents, local businesses and members of front-line services to get
their first-hand experiences.
"In the meantime, I'd like people to log on to the website and
share their comments - all contributions will be taken on board and will
factor into the review process."
A website has been set up to allow the public to submit their comments at:
