1/2 So that’s a wrap! I can’t leave the EA without paying tribute to the amazing EA staff. They perform miracles everyday - sometimes under very difficult circumstances - and often without the credit they deserve - we’re lucky to have them…

Hundreds of flood warnings remain active after torrential rain and high winds from Storm Bert. Prof John Curtin, who worked in a variety of roles at the Enviroment Agency for over 30 years, tells @EvanHD clear messaging is needed on what to do when flood warnings are issued.

New school year! Lovely day with the new PhD students as they start their journey helping improve the flood resilience. This is a lovely tradition - students getting their Doctorates open a bottle of champagne in the common room and leave a message where the cork leaves its mark!

It’s the eve of #floodandcoast2024 which means it’s time for the @CIWEM Trustees to come together to consider how best to support this fantastic organisation and its amazing members. Have to say it’s a real pleasure given this is one of the most talented bunch I’ve worked with 😊

2/ Online version here. All the maps and graphs in this hard copy show just how much we’ve come on - but also how we still tend to ensure we’re better at dealing with the flood we’ve just experienced than the one to come

1/ Found this gem in a tidy up. The ‘Bye’ report - my home town on the front cover. As a young flood forecaster in Leamington I got cut off from my own home! Looking back this was probably the beginning of a shift to a cycle of floods we hadn’t (then!) seen for a generation….

So today was of course about the 40th birthday of the #ThamesBarrier - but personally today was also about celebrating the legend that is Andy B and his 40 years at the barrier - including him handing over the over ride button to the new manager!
