Could You Help Your Community in a Flood Emergency?

Bude’s Community Flood Wardens play a vital role in supporting the town during flood events as part of the local Community Emergency Flood Plan.

A live exercise is taking place on Wednesday 28 May, and anyone interested in becoming a Flood Warden is encouraged to come along and see what’s involved.

Event details:

• Date: Wednesday 28 May
• Time: Please arrive for 6.30pm
• Location: Meet at the Parkhouse Centre
• Duration: The session will run until approximately 9.00pm, with around an hour spent out and about across Bude

This is a practical, hands-on session, so there’s no need for any theoretical training or previous experience—just a willingness to volunteer and support the local community in times of need.

Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing and bring water. If you have a mobile phone, please bring it with you. You’re also encouraged to download the What3Words app in advance, although this isn’t essential.
