Section 19 flood investigations

As Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, we investigate flood incidents to understand the causes, identify responsible parties and determine necessary actions to prevent future flooding.

We undertake investigations when threshold criteria are met, for example when a significant number of properties and / or key infrastructure are affected.

We also have a duty to publish any previous investigation reports that meet our threshold criteria. You can view these below.
