This episode deals with the difficult topic of flooding, and how to build resilience: in people, buildings and communities. Dr Bel Deering is the community engagement officer for Somerset Rivers Authority. Her PhD was on the recreational uses of graveyards, a hint that the conversation contains many flashes of quirky humour alongside the serious stuff. Somerset Rivers Authority is a partnership organisation set up in response to the devastating floods of 2013-14 in the Somerset Levels and Moors. Any errors are the speakers' own.
