The Environment Agency's in Kendal today and tomorrow asking locals about the extent of the damage caused by last month's floods; and what could be done to stop it happening again.
A mobile trailer will host a community drop-in session at Gooseholme between 11am and 7pm today; it'll be at Market Place tomorrow.
The Environment Agency says it's important to learn from the devastation to help future resilience.
There'll be similar events in Burneside and Keswick on Friday; then in Ambleside and Grasmere on Tuesday next week.
Dan Bond, Environment Agency Manager, said: “You can’t underestimate the devastating impacts of flooding to people’s lives and the key to recovering quickly, and increasing our flood resilience in the long term, is to listen to the people who experienced it first hand and learn from their experiences.
“We’ve been visiting affected communities since the flooding began in early December, and these drop-in sessions are the start of a more coordinated approach to involving local people in the development of local flood risk management plans.
“We would encourage anyone affected by flooding to come along and talk to us. We will have technical experts from the Environment Agency and County Council available to chat to, with support from a number of agencies that can provide advice and support.”
