Yes would be great if people working on Nature Based Solutions in England can complete this survey https://t.co/uJnjRCHmB0 to identify challenges & policy barriers. Please contact me with questions on the survey or the project

[iCASP @YorkshireiCASP]

If you work with Nature Based Solutions (NBS) please help us by taking part in this survey so that your work can be even more widespread.

It's part of a project funded by @ResEngland
to understand challenges which could be improved by policy support https://t.co/VWMwp4WZ8a

@englandsfavour1 @floodmary I just said the same thing Paul - a big issue. Plus, not sure if you saw a new article from the survey: “What influences how well householders living in previously flooded communities feel they are protected or could recover from future flooding?: https://t.co/2hw3Lcx92D

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

🧵Dr Twiddy (@HullYorkMed) led the stats analysis after https://t.co/aiuFh6scL2 where we got really effective engagement from people who wanted to describe their experiences after the 2007 and 2013 floods.

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

🧵Published a stats paper with Dr Maureen Twiddy - @HullYorkMed identifying that women in Hull felt more concerned and less protected from flooding than men in @EEIatHull 2018 survey with @LivingWithH2O https://t.co/rogJNJ2ZBt - important finding for flood resilience programmes

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

🧵This is the second paper we worked on: Twiddy M, Trump B, Ramsden S (2022) Understanding the long-term impact of flooding on the wellbeing of residents: A mixed methods study. PLoS ONE 17(9): https://t.co/rogJNJ2rLV – looked at both the mental and physical health consequences

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

A lot of enthusiasm and scope for #SuDS at @MeanwoodFarm (plus a great place for a workshop and great coffee and food from @thebarnmeanwood 👍). Fantastic to learn from other projects including in Hull from @AlexOsborne_Geo & @LivingWithH2O

[iCASP @YorkshireiCASP]

A super place for our workshop today at Meanwood Valley Farm in Leeds.

We’re exploring whether it could be a demonstrator site for sustainable urban developments as part of the West Yorkshire Flood Innovation Programme #WYFLIP

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

@SilverBatfish I also heard #sheffield peace gardens from midday

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

It would be great to get wide engagement in this online survey for people involved in developing Blue Green Infrastructure in Yorkshire (UK), so @YorkshireiCASP can develop a training programme to address needs.

Let me know if any questions!

1/2 As part of West Yorkshire Flood Innovation Programme, we're carrying out a survey to address a critical capacity & skills gap risk to delivery of flood reduction & resilience across Yorkshire.

If you work in flood risk management please help us

Really looking forward to this event on Monday

[iCASP @YorkshireiCASP]

2/2 We've over 60 delegates coming to our 2nd West Yorkshire Flood Innovation Programme's AGM. It will be opened by our ambassadors Cllr Katie Kimber @Calderdale & Helen Hayden Leeds City Council.

Looking forward to learning about LoRaWAN & other innovative projects.

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

@englandsfavour1 @EnvAgencyYNE @LivingWithH2O @Hullfloodrisk @floodinnovation @ERfloodrisk Wow, have you seen it that full before Paul?

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

I am really looking forward to this event...... definitely interesting for stakeholders in working on/ impacted by surface water flooding @YorkshireiCASP @LivingWithH2O @ConnectedbyH20

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

@EnvAgencyYNE Is #Sheffield in the region as well? Because it is not shown on the map. (I know this is a couple of days out of date, but there is concern Sheffield gets missed on EA warnings).

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

Update from me - I have moved across to @YorkshireiCASP after many happy years in Hull. Hull is a fantastic place and I was very lucky to work with great people and organisations doing important work across the city. Will miss the place.

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

@SCcrowther Hi @SCcrowther, do you see the sewage and river flooding problems combining? Has it happened?

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

@englandsfavour1 @RadioHumberside Crazy that this greenspace is under threat, such an important and beautiful greenspace in Hull. Hope you guys win the award!

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

@Kate_Bradbury I have got loads of bees around my endless ivy growing in dark places and holy walls! Plus near the bird bathh and in poppies and yellow rattle. But definitely less than previous years.

[Sam Ramsden @SamRamsden2001]

Another highlight of the workshop was the fantastic SudSlab tour of campus led by @StuartMcLelland and @AlexOsborne_Geo from @EEIatHull

Was really good to bring @grassroofco back to Hull, a city John has strong links with, to discuss #biodoversity #SuDS & #GreenRooves with great orgs from Hull, Teesside and South Yorkshire. Inspiring, challenging and informative. Thanks

A few photographs from today's free workshop with John Little of @grassroofco, who's helping businesses and charities to understand how they can make their premises more resilient to the effects of climate change.

Definitely worth a visit, on the foot of the North York Moors as well....

[Mary Long-Dhonau OBE @floodmary]

The #floodmobile & I will be in #Kirkbymoorside tomorrow Tuesday 25th from 2-7 do pop by and see me for a guided tour.

I've just signed the petition calling on the government to support renewable energy by lifting the ban on new onshore wind farms in England. Sign the petition too: https://t.co/gPk0h3ujPb
