All the defences with temporary repairs also have contingency measures in place, which restore the standard of protection to pre-winter 2013/14 levels.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Going in to this winter, every community that was affected by the storms and floods of last winter will have the same or better standard of protection compared to the levels of defence they had before last winter.</p> more like this
