Carlisle flooded badly in 2005 (1600+ properties) and December 2015 when Storm “Desmond” caused the inundation of nearly 2,200 properties in the City some to a depth of 2m. – a previously unrecorded depth. The Carlisle Flood Action Group (CFLAG) was formed in January 2016 following a community meeting of affected residents and is a founding member of CRAGG.- an amalgamation of 10 community groups based in Cumbria.
