Flood Risk Management Plans for England: 2021-2027
Updated Plans Outline Objectives and Strategies
Guidance and Resources for Managing Flood Risk
In December 2022, the Environment Agency published updated Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) for England, covering the period from 2021 to 2027. These strategic plans provide a comprehensive overview of flood risk management in the country, outlining objectives, strategies, and guidance for various stakeholders.
The FRMPs assess the risk of flooding from various sources, including rivers, the sea, surface water, groundwater, and reservoirs. They identify areas at high risk of flooding and set out measures to mitigate these risks, such as flood defenses, land-use planning, and emergency response plans.
The FRMPs are a valuable resource for homeowners, businesses, local authorities, and other organizations involved in flood risk management. They provide detailed information on:
- Areas at risk of flooding
- Flood risk assessment methodologies
- Flood risk reduction measures
- Guidance on flood warning and response
- Resources for flood risk management
By adhering to the recommendations outlined in the FRMPs, stakeholders can proactively manage flood risk and reduce the potential impacts of flooding on communities and infrastructure.
