<< Start < Prev 1 2 Next > End >> adam   Water Magnets - 2008/02/22 11:37 What a brilliant concept - the presence of the Fire Brigade makes a site significantly more vulnerable! Are they some kind of water magnet? Quote from Stephen Wilson Partnership's letter... Also, and very importantly, since production of the Flood Risk Assessment, the fire station has decided not to move to the site and this downgrades the Flood Risk Vulnerability Classification to "Less Vulnerable" from "Highly Vulnerable" You can just imagine a resident saying, as the flood waters rise, "Bit of luck the Fire Brigade aren't just round the corner, otherwise we could be in real trouble". :-)   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum.

Seems to me that, taken literally, the interpretation of the Flood Risk Vulnerability Classification being downgraded by the removal of the Fire Station from the proposal can only be that the presence of a Fire Station makes it more likely to flood, and that DOES seem rather humourous :-)   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. Paul   Re:Water Magnets - 2008/03/12 10:37 Adam: You are confusing vulnerability with flood risk. Emergency services, together with, for example, basement dwellings are highly vulnerable if a flood occurs - there is a higher risk to life and property. Uses such as agriculture are less vulnerable - the risk to life and property is lower. The likelihood of flood occurring is unchanged, but the impact is altered.   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. adam   Re:Water Magnets - 2008/03/13 14:19 Come on Paul, give me some credit. I was being facetious. Although...   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. Paul   Re:Water Magnets - 2008/03/13 14:49 Sorry Adam, it was hard to tell. Was your "It looks great!" thread also intended as facetious?   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum.
