Subject: (Fwd) (Fwd) Flood warning
Babs,
Yup, another email -this one's work related though - do you know
anyone who might need to know this?
Take note! Those of you who shelve in the basement: please be
alert to any signs of flooding.

Peter,
I have a contact in the Environment Agency (EA) who was part
responsible for the extensive flooding in Kent and Sussex
recently. It was a case of creating the flood that was reported
in the media or losing a reservoir through erosion which would
have created a far far greater flood. My contact has stated that
the water table in Kent and Sussex is completely saturated
and
the EA are now very concerned that there will be a gradual flow
of underground water towards London that could cause some
flooding of basements in the next 3 - 6 weeks. We know the
water
table has been rising for some years now so this warning, I
believe, should be taken seriously. Perhaps our basement area
should receive weekly checks for the foreseeable future
especailly where archives are stored?
