Volunteering

Flood wardens

The council and its partners are supporting communities to be more resilient to extreme weather conditions.  We are expanding our network of community flood wardens and are looking for volunteers who we can work with in an emergency.

Having local people volunteer as community flood wardens will help us find out what’s happening on the ground.  Flood wardens will play a vital role in raising awareness of the dangers of flooding and help their neighbours to stay safe during an emergency.

If you are interested in becoming a Flood Warden please contact Vicky Crennell, Emergency Planning and Response Officer by email to victoria.crennell@northtyneside.gov.uk
