Flooding

[Steve Gardener]

1700: Just picked up my free case of Malvern water (24 x 500ml) being given away at Asda car park. I was in and out in under 2 minutes but it was borderline chaos with the idiots bringing their cars and getting the whole family to get a case etc etc. Cars parked outside and so blocked the small street. I can see it getting messy.

umm i just heard that if the electricity goes there gonna be a huge army evac of glos and other areas huge problem and the have a plan to get everyone out my waters just gonne at 12:00pm fingers cross elec stays on.

[Steve Gardener]

Not a problem. It was stated in the past tense - as in 'if the electric had gone'. I got another case of water today just as it ran out again. I've had nowt from my taps for days.

The mystery evacuation (now off the cards since the leccy seems to be holding up) is indeed compelling

Anyone know who/which departments were arranging this? and more importantly, where they were planning to take folks? this is a rhetorical question by the way, you wont find out the whys and wheres, well, not if the piss poor info at the local media is anything to go by

Considering we are talking about 250,000 people I'd bloody love to know where they were planning on taking folks for 'processing'

If anyone has any info on the potential evac facilities, post them up, especially if you have any photos of them replete with one way rail tracks and box cars fully fitted with shackles and guillotines

Wow, been doing some digging on this, my goodness the governmnet have been busy

These floods are a one in one thousand occurence, the sort of event that nobody could have predicted, yes?

An unpredictable event like the attack on the twin towers etc, an event that government ministers say nobody could have anticipated

Fair enough, countrywide floods in june/july that require multi agency support/response just wouldnt have been on anyones mind, would they?

So what was 2004's 'exercise Triton' all about then?

Triton was a mahoosive exercise based on testing response to huge scale countrywide floods in june/july of 2004

Objectives of the exercise:

• The exercise tested the nation's ability to work together and deal with extensive flooding.
  
• The scenario deliberately tested systems that would not normally be planned for
  
• Each team had to make decisions that included how to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people
  

The evacuation detail is one I am currently chasing up (and wont let go)

The clueless fuckwits at the local MSM media outlets have fuck all info

Remember folks, the twin towers attacks were rehearsed in a training drill prior to them happening, the London 7/7 bombings were rehearsed (by Vizor Consultants) in a drill prior to them happening, both scenarios of which were denied insofar as any official anticipation of such acts

The same method is observable with the floods, that being, a huge rehearsal/training drill of a scenario that is set in or around the same time frame as the real world disaster (ie: the twin towers exercise was held the morning of the attack, the 7/7 bombing exercise was held the morning of 7/7, and the flood drill 'Triton' was held in june/july of 2004) followed by plenty of contradictory statements from officials re: 'we couldnt have anticipated such an occurence'

One thing I am sure of, this crap is far from a surprise to many... time to get digging

Exercise Triton was designed to test the national civil contingencies systems reaction to extreme coastal flooding affecting huge stretches of the English and Welsh coastlines.

Chew on the following quote, taken from DEFRA/EA documentation (yes I am so anal I read the government documents)

A major lesson identified was the need to plan for evacuation of people from large areas which would be inundated by (in this scenario) coastal flooding, but which equally applies to river flooding

So, your point was again?

It was an exercise concerned with a one in a thousand flood scenario, it is - as the Environment Agency and DEFRA have just confirmed to me by phone and in the above quote- directly applicable to the current 'one in a thousand' inland floods being experienced

As with the above examples of 9/11 and 7/7, such incidents are used to grant excessive power to governments, as this paragraph shows:

Lessons Identified as a result of Exercise Triton 04 will serve to inform the preparation of guidance in respect of the [CC] Act, including the process for the formal request of emergency powers

It is through such powers that mass/forced evacuations will occur, evacuations [the logistics of which] nobody seems to have any info about, which is strange when you consider they spent millions on Exercise Triton in which they admit that one of the exercises was concerned with the issue of how to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people

I mean whats up? is the info secret?

f you post a view you must accept another.

1) the powers have not been used as described and
2) I agree with the 1-1000 etc etc but you did not make it clear that it was not inland in your initial statement. Baring in mind info is power and all that to only show one part of a theory is to be as guilty as those accused of stupidity or conspiracy.
3) I agree with the statement that they've been saying 'we could not have forseen this' when they did.
4) One issue with regards to planning was the moving of the office they were meant to work in - due to flooding. Ahh the joys of forward planning eh.

There's an inference that somehow (and to a degree the more I know the more I agree) they 'could have done more' and 'look at the powers they could have used' but have not. All very area 51. But we are talking about a group that managed to get both the sites of the ONE water plant supplying Gloucester flooded and nearly had the same happen to the ONE power station (which it is not but whatever) supplying all the 350000 people / 150000 homes and then they site their office in a place where it also gets flooded.

At the same time the media only speak to angry or upset people - don't see me crying or fighting over a case of water, nor you or anyone we know. Not seen me saying 'me bowsers run out and them robbing shits at 53 were taking more than their fare share at 3am this morning'.

So what does it mean? They spent millions 3 years ago and learnt fuck all. They have powders they never used and as per are a bunch of incompetent twats spending BILLIONS OF OUR MONEY making a balls of it all.

By all means stir the pot - I did so on the Citizen site - check it out It might be nice to see answers. Something like...

'Tell me minister why the forward planning office for flooding was flooded? Not exactly forward thinking is it?'

Or (in light of Brown already asking) 'why does Gloucester have one piss poor sited and subject to flooding water plant?'
