1980 Area Flood Flooded Lines Risk This Tomorrow Underground


EDITORS COMMENTS
1. "Preparing for the Unforeseen: A 1980s Guide to Surviving a Flood in London If London flooded tomorrow, what would you do? This question was a pressing concern for residents, workers, and commuters in the Flood Risk Area of the city in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The map before you, produced by an unknown advertising agency and printed by G and B Arts in 1980, outlines the areas most susceptible to flooding, as well as the crucial underground and railway lines that crisscross the city. The Flood Risk Area, marked in red on the map, encompasses many parts of central and eastern London, including the Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and Wandsworth boroughs. The Thames River, which flows through the heart of the city, poses the greatest risk, but heavy rainfall and storm surges can also cause flooding in other parts of the metropolis. In the event of a flood, the map advises several courses of action. First and foremost, residents and workers in the Flood Risk Area are urged to heed evacuation orders issued by local authorities. If evacuation is not possible, they are encouraged to move to the upper floors of their buildings and stay there, away from windows and doors. For those who rely on public transportation, the map provides alternative routes using the underground and railway lines that are least likely to be affected by flooding. It is essential to check with transport authorities for the latest information on service disruptions and closures before traveling. In conclusion, being prepared for a flood in London in the 1980s required careful planning and a solid understanding of the city's flood risk areas and transportation networks. This map, produced by an unknown advertising agency and printed by G and B Arts, serves as a testament to the importance of being informed and vigilant in the face of natural disasters.
