The free event was held to show what measures people can take to protect their home or business from flooding and was held at the White Lion Royal Hotel.

Representatives from the Environment Agency were on hand to provide one-to-one advice for residents, including practical help on preparing for a flood and what to do if one happens.

Attendees were able to find out if their home was at risk from flooding by taking part in the postcode check.

Those who have found out that their homes could flood, were able to register for the free Floodline Warnings Direct service, that provides flood warnings by telephone, mobile, e-mail, fax or pager when a flood warning is issued in the area.

Staff also demonstrated how simple it is to pull together a flood kit to be prepared in case of flooding.

"The extreme rainfall that we saw in 2007 is likely to become more frequent as we feel the increasing effects of climate change," said Eirian Redmayne, flood incident management team leader for North Wales.
