    Despite the high technology and investment (投資) in flood defenses by the Environment Agency (環保局), there is no way to stop all flooding -- sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defenses.

    Warning people of tiffs danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen fifty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warming System that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.

    The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自動) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.

    Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dial code for their area.

    The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messaging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of tile level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favorite toys.
