A discussion will be held this evening on how Whanganui can manage its flood risk.
The discussion will be held as part of the April Green Drinks event.
Green Drinks Whanganui organiser Helen Marie O'Connell said last week's heavy rain event had brought the issue of flooding to everyone's minds again.
After last week's reminder about Whanganui's risk of flooding, and with the growing awareness of climate change exacerbating this risk, this is an opportune time to have a conversation within the local green community about what's next for Whanganui - what are the threats, and what might be solutions?"
There will be an informal panel discussion with Whanganui district councillor Jenny Duncan, Horizons regional councillor Nicola Patrick and Horizons' river management specialist Ramon Strong.
