Coastal erosion: risks and management
Members working in coastal and flood-prone areas may be interested in the latest report from the Environment Agency on the risks and management of flooding and coastal erosion.
December 2015 brought successive storms, record level rainfall and river levels, all leading to widespread flooding across the North of England. This was devastating for the 17,000 homes and businesses which were hit by the flooding. Since then, there has rightly been much focus on helping those affected communities to recover and on repairing flood defences.
The new report reviews the lessons learnt from 2015-2016 and how to build these into the future of flood risk management.
