This is the second of a two-part series on flood emergencies. Part 1 looked at assessing flood risks in the historic environment, understanding responsibilities, averting problems, and the differences between planning for resistance and for resilience. In part 2, David Drewe (Head of Engineering and Emergency Planning) and Robyn Pender (Senior Building Conservation Advisor) will look at what to do if you do have to deal with a flood covering the initial and the longer term response and recovery.
