Flooding and flood risk management

Investigating flooding

Upon becoming aware of a flood in our area we will investigate to the extent that it is considered necessary or appropriate. This does not mean we will automatically take action to resolve or do works in response to an incident.

We may look at:

which risk management authorities are involved
what actions they have taken or propose

Where a formal investigation is carried out will we will:

publish the results of the investigation on this webpage
notify any relevant risk management authorities of our findings
