Lottery grant to fund flood warden scheme
Wardens will help communities in Cornwall react quickly to the threat of floods.
Cornwall Community Flood Forum will provide flood management training to 100 wardens and raise awareness among other organisations in the county about the potential problems that flooding could cause and how to handle them.
The forum, based in St Austell, will kit people out in high visibility vests, and purchase training manuals, road signs, sandbags and sheeting thanks to lottery funding.
A £9,750 grant from Big Lottery Fund's Awards For All scheme will also pay for the wardens to receive first aid and health and safety training.
