Flood Hub
The Flood Hub is a one stop shop for flood information and resources to support householders, businesses and communities across the North West in becoming more flood resilient.
The hub pulls together multiple sources of guidance and information to give an overview of flood resilience and its many related topics, and signposts to a variety of other useful sources of information.
Cumbria Local Resilience Forum
Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council works in partnership with other local authorities, organisations and agencies in Cumbria through the Cumbria Local Resilience Forum (CLRF) to deliver emergency planning services throughout the county.
The Cumbria Local Resilience Forum was formed in 2005 following the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 which required organisations across specific areas to work together to prepare, respond and recover from different emergencies.
Cumbria Local Resilience Forum has a website where you can find information and advice to help you better prepare if there was an emergency in the county. Follow this link:
