Environment Agency
The current flooding event resulted in the Environment Agency’s dedicated Area Incident Room opening on the 23 December on a 24 hour basis. We have had staff working, and on standby 24/7 throughout the incident, including on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and over New Year.
Some of our staff have day jobs that relate directly our incident response, such as our operational teams who are out deploying demountable flood defences and clearing trash screens. As well as those who assist with the operation of flood defence structures and support the management of River levels.
However, many of our staff have incident roles outside of their normal day job, and during the incident they switch over to these.  This includes responding to pollution events, flood ambassadors who out on the ground, data recorders, and those who work on communication with key groups / organisations and the public.
As a result, the majority of our local staff has worked in some way to support our incident response. The names of those who have worked tirelessly throughout the duration of this incident are too many to list, but we are incredibly grateful to them, and everyone else who has been involved in responding to the flooding in Oxfordshire and the wider South East.
