In partnership with the Environment Agency
This page hosts materials for developers and FRA consultants about the Environment Agency’s new flood and coastal erosion risk data.
The Environment Agency is currently in the process of publishing updates to National Flood Risk Assessment (NaFRA2) and the National Coastal Erosion Risk Map (NCERM) data. These tools provide essential information for planners, and resources on this page are provided to help practitioners understand and use new information about flood and coastal erosion risk.
