The Environment Agency has published updated data for the National Flood Risk Assessment and a new National Coastal Erosion Risk Map. The latest updates mean that the flood risk for some homes and businesses may have changed.

Last updated in 2018, the new NaFRA (National Flood Risk Assessment) provides a single and updated picture of the current and future flood risk from rivers, the sea and surface water for England.  In England, you can see what the long-term flood risk is in specific areas and sign up for flood warnings where available.

For the first time, checking your long-term flood risk will provide information on:

• Future flood risk, taking into account climate change.
• Potential flood depths, both for present day flood risk and in relation to climate change.

The new NCERM (National Coastal Erosion Risk Map) provides the most up-to-date national picture of the current and future coastal erosion risk for England. The updated NCERM information can be accessed by checking coastal erosion risk for an area of England and through the shoreline management plan explorer.
