Flood Plan - Overview

Flood Plan

The Suffolk Resilience Multi-agency Flood Plan is available to view as a pdf document (303KB).

This plan summarises the Suffolk response to major flood events to allow co-ordinated contingency planning to take place within individual agencies. This plan is linked to national policies on flood and coastal erosion risk owned by DEFRA and to warning and informing systems managed by the Environment Agency (EA). This multi-agency Flood plan is supported by the detailed plans of each agency involved to deliver the roles and responsibilities mentioned within. This plan does not cover the provision of coastal defences that are covered separately in works programmes agreed between DEFRA and local authorities as part of the new strategy ‘Making Space for Water’.

(Please note that all plans published on this website are subject to certain conditions, one of which is that they will be reviewed at intervals and, if necessary rewritten in part or in whole. We will not necessarily indicate when a plan is under review, or is being rewritten. The published plan will be updated without notice when these procedures are complete.)
