Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon has announced the commencement of the public consultation on the second cycle draft Flood Risk Management Plan 2021-2027.
The Flood Risk Management Plan is an important step in the implementation of the Floods Directive, and is a requirement under The Water Environment (Floods Directive) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009.
The draft plan establishes objectives to manage the flood risk from the main sources of flooding, and outlines measures to meet these objectives. The measures focus on prevention of flooding, protection of individuals, communities and the environment and preparedness arrangements for flood warning and emergency response.

A councillor expressed his disbelief after learning it will cost £1.8m to install a filter light at a Lisburn junction.
DUP councillor Jonathan Craig said there were ongoing safety concerns from road users using the junction The Cutts, Derriaghy near the McKinstry Road.
He added that it was “absolutely shocking” and “alarming” that the design phase of a dangerous junction in north Lisburn would also cost £160,000.
It is understood that the preliminary estimate for the scheme is around £1.8m, with the road requiring “extensive carriageway widening and realignment” in order to accommodate the required signal equipment.
Mr Swann said: “People’s expectations have yet again been dashed because the brutal truth is that when the minister while approving the design has not put any capital aside to actually do the work at the junction.
