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.
