It's #floodactionweek & I'm kicking it off in Westminster tomorrow working alongside @floodre helping to launch the brand new #floodmobile. It's packed full of #PFR & will travel into newly #flooded areas to help people during their recovery. Photos tomorrow!
Just back from a trip to Venice. Daft place to go ( for me) really, I dumped the tourist route in favour of the property #flood barrier self guided tour! 😊

If you think you may #flood due to all the rain it's really important that you prepare for it, to reduce the damage & heartbreak. Here's a blog which shows you how to prepare using 'stuff' you may have around the house. floodmary.com/2024/09/02/h...
Lots of people have 'To do' lists. Why not a '#Flood to do list?' Preparing for a #flood should be the front and centre of everything when a #flood is coming your way! floodmary.com/wp-content/upl…

When @floodmary.bsky.social’s home was severely flooded by sewage in the great floods of 2000, her 3-year-old son had just been diagnosed with autism. It took 9 long months to repair. Since then she’s dedicated her life to helping others. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

I headed to meet @floodmary.bsky.social at one of her advice clinics. Her flood-mobile is kitted with props to demonstrate how people can protect their homes at cost-effective ways. Simple things like covering air bricks with aluminium tape stops water coming through. In today’s @mirror.co.uk
"I lost boxes of my children’s memories, hospital memorabilia, little handprints, the first drawing of Postman Pat. I had to get the fire service to pump us out. It took nine months to put our house back together" - @floodmary.bsky.social with @roswynnejones.bsky.social @journomaryamq.bsky.social

Meet @floodmary.bsky.social aka Mary Mary Long-Dhonau, who became an anti-flood + climate campaigner after her family home was deluged by sewage. She describes impact on her kids, one of whom is autistic, precious keepsakes lost - and why she wants to protect others. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
A letter responding to powerful testimony from flood victims & campaigners to the EAC, on the devastating impact of flooding. 6 million UK properties are at risk of flooding - set to rise to 8 milion by mid-century. We cannot afford to close our eyes to the risk. @floodmary.bsky.social
Green Alliance@green-alliance.org.uk · last yr.The flooding budget from 2026- remains uncertain, and needs confirmed at the spending review. @commonseac.parliament.uk chair @tobyperkinsmp.bsky.social has rightly written to Rachel Reeves to stress the impacts underinvestment will have on people and seek clarity on long term allocations. 1/2

Warning from @floodmary.bsky.social of risk to safety if flood defence budgets are cut as part of the Chancellor's spending review - a move Mary describes as utterly self-defeating, flood damage likely to lead to increased spending across the board. www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...
Not just building flood defences but maintaining those we've got, restoring peatlands & woodlands & wetlands & urban gardens & all the spongy spaces that absorb water, reducing flood risk. @floodmary.bsky.social speaking at yesterday's EAC. www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...
