Businesses are being encouraged to check if they are resilient to potential serious floods this winter.
To mark Flood Resilience Week, Cumbria Chamber of Commerce is asking businesses if they are equipped for winter.
An online information pack, available on the chamber of commerce’s website, issuing guidance on flood resilience is available to business owners.
Rob Johnston, Chief Executive of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce, said: “The chamber was at the forefront of the flood recovery effort after Cumbria suffered catastrophic floods in 2005, 2009 and 2015.
“We know how damaging flooding can be.
“We sincerely hope there’s no repeat this winter but businesses need to be ready just in case.
“It’s about ensuring that, if disaster strikes, you limit the damage and start trading again as quickly as possible.
