Flooding is an issue affecting a significant part of the population.

The set demonstrates the hazards associated with flooding and the actions that can be taken to reduce risk

Floods can happen anywhere at anytime.  Even if you are not directly at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea you could still be affected by flooding from other sources such as burst water drains and surface water run-off after heavy rain.

The set is equipped with items that will raise awareness about flooding and flood warning helping both children and adults realise what actions they can take to protect themselves, their family and property.

Or would you accept a lift from someone who says that they live at the bottom of your road?

A visit to Flashpoint will raise your awareness of potentially dangerous situations and highlight ways to take avoiding action

Did you know that agriculture is the only industry responsible for child fatalities?
