The OPW is very aware of the importance of being prepared for a flood event, and of putting in place appropriate measures to mitigate, at a household level, the worst effects and damages. With this in mind, a website, information leaflet and communications campaign entitled PLAN PREPARE PROTECT was initiated in 2005. There is valuable information for members of the public, householders and businesses contained therein. The Office of Public Works will, in the next 12 months, undertake a review of the content and presentation of the website.
