We’re all going to drown!
The Environment Agency has today (Tuesday 17 December) published new data showing 6.3 million properties across England are based in areas at risk of flooding from one or a combination of rivers, the sea and surface water.
Using the best available data from both the Environment Agency and local authorities, the new National Assessment of Flood Risk (NaFRA), provides a single and updated picture of the current and future flood risk from rivers, the sea and surface water for England. The last update to NaFRA was in 2018.
Alongside this, the Environment Agency has also updated the National Coastal Erosion Risk Map (NCERM) for the first time since 2017. This provides the most up to date national picture of the current and future coastal erosion risk for England using the best available evidence from the National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes.
