Understanding local flood risks can help Eastbourne and southern Wealden communities prepare for changing weather conditions. Blue Heart brings together environmental research, live water monitoring and practical advice to help residents, schools and community groups become more resilient to flooding.

💧 What to expect

  • Information about local flood risks, rainfall and live water-level monitoring

  • Guidance on flood warnings, household preparedness and community emergency plans

  • Free talks, workshops and activities for community groups and families

  • Environmental projects involving schools, water quality and sustainable drainage

  • Opportunities to share local experiences and contribute to community flood resilience

Led by East Sussex County Council, Blue Heart combines research, technology and community involvement to improve flood resilience across Eastbourne and southern Wealden. The project is funded by Defra through the Environment Agency's Flood and Coastal Innovation Programmes, with funding running until spring 2027.
