The most likely emergency situation to affect Kimpton is flooding, either from rising groundwater or from periods of heavy rainfall.
Hampshire County Council Flood and Water Management team have produced a Local Flood and Water Management Strategy document which sets out their strategy to support communities in Hampshire who are at risk of flooding.
In addition to the strategy they have produced a series of reference guides to support residents and communities in understanding their roles and responsibilities in managing our environment to prepare for flooding, including preventative measures we can all take to prevent or lessen the impact of flooding, as well as provide advice and guidance should flooding occur. Links to these guides are below.
Ordinary watercourse responsibilities
Flood risk management guidance for landowners
Ordinary watercourse consenting
Use the information in these guides along with the advice on our Emergencies page should an emergency occur.
If you think your life or the life of another is in danger always call 999.
For further advice or if you have any questions about what to do in case of flooding please contact the Parish Clerk or any of the Councillors for further information.
