At each event they will give out essential flooding advice as well as hints and tips on how to prepare and what actions to take when flooding occurs.
Warwickshire has a history of flooding, with approximately 11,000 properties at risk of fluvial flooding. Large parts of the county were affected by flooding in winter 2012.
Councillor Les Caborn, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio for Community Safety, said: “These events are crucial to continue to raise awareness of risk flooding poses to many homes and business in Warwickshire.”
Floods can damage or destroy your home and business, knowing your flood risk is the first step to protecting your family and property.
