Flood Alert for Ynyslas
Anna and I are local ‘Flood Alert Wardens’ for Ynyslas. According to the Flood Plan Guidance for Communities document this means that we:
- act on the advice received from the flood plan coordinator or their assistant
- puts flood protection measures in place
- helps and advises vulnerable people and helps move them to safety early if required
- informs the community of the situation and advises them to prepare by moving cars, putting sandbags or flood boards in place etc.
We’ve just had the first of our flood alerts from the Environment agency. It arrived last night saying:
Happy New Year.Just to let you know that there is a Severe Flood Alert for Tidal Borth (up towards Ynyslas) issued by Natural Resources Wales, with the peak anticipated for around high tide at 8.30 am tomorrow.They state: “High Spring tide will coincide with storm surge, large waves and high winds, giving potential for the highest water level we have experienced for some time”.Severe flood alerts are defined as: Severe flooding. Danger to life.Stay in a safe place with a means of escape.
