HORSHAM flood update 18/10/2022 5.25pm
As we continue to monitor and respond to the flooding situation in Horsham and after consultation with key stakeholders, we believe the flooding will be between a 1-in-10 and 1-in- 20 year event in Horsham.
The peak is expected to reach Horsham tomorrow (Wednesday 19/10) and we will continue to revise and update the situation.
Due to the predicted rainfall for the region, things could quickly be escalated to a higher flood scenario.
