Listen to this episode from Talk Time on Spotify. On January 31st 1953 the North Sea Flood caused nearly 1000 miles of coastline to be damaged, 1200 sea walls to be breached and 2551 people to lose their lives. The communication technology of the time influenced both the devastating death toll and inspiring stories of survival. We spoke to Steve James from Essex RAYNET who told us about the live saving role that amateur radio played during the disaster and the resulting creation of RAYNET, an organisation that still plays an important role to this day.Find out more about the 1953 Floods by watching our animation or playing the interactive story here.
