Flood Review

Following the winter’s flooding across the UK, the terms of reference of the National Flood Resilience Review has been published.  This will be chaired by Oliver Letwin and will focus on four key areas: updating our climate modelling and stress-testing the nation’s resilience to flood risk; assessing the resilience of our important infrastructure like electricity substations; our temporary defences; and our future investment strategy.  The review is due to report in the summer.  In the meantime it has issued a call-for-evidence.  For more details see – https://www.gov.uk/government/news/national-flood-resilience-review-government-action-to-tackle-floods
