Wallsend had a great response for the SES Floodsafe Breakfast this morning with approximately 20 businesses represented and supported by Newcastle City Council. Wallsend also got to announce the emergence of its Wallsend Emergency Network (WEN) which was established in October 2007 and coordinated by Kathie Heyman as the Wallsend Recovery Coordinator.
A few of the points to be drawn from this mornings meeting with the SES was that it is not "IF" but "WHEN" another flood occurs, and a Floodsafe Toolkit was handed around to business personnel to encourage individual businesses to take account of becoming flood prepared.
A WEN newsletter was distributed along with an invitation to the first meeting to be held at Cafe Tempest on the 25th of June at 8am. Further, a questionnaire was attached for businesses to fill out to share their story of flood experience June 8 2007, and to ascertain flood knowledge.
