Details
The England and Wales Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) strategies published in autumn 2020 identified the important role communities play in helping to deliver FCERM.
This has led to a demand for further research to understand how best to work with communities to:
- manage flood risk assets (structures)
- prepare for, respond to and recover from incidents
- take part in decisions, designs and funding for schemes
- manage land to achieve flood risk benefits
- prepare and adapt homes to reduce the impact of flooding
- take part in conversations about long-term adaptation
For these 6 activities we wanted to understand what past research had been undertaken and any future research needed. A detailed literature review was conducted, identifying research gaps and setting out 12 priority areas for future research.
