Formal flood investigations (Section 19 Investigations)



When a significant flood event occurs, we will conduct a formal flood investigation, also known as a Section 19 Investigation.

This investigation will include:

  • A summary of the flood event.
  • What caused the flooding to occur.
  • The roles and responsibilities of each of the risk management authorities involved.
  • Actions taken during and after the flood event.
  • Recommendations to prevent future flood events.

Once the investigation has concluded, we will publish a report that is publicly available to download below:
