Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment
The Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) provides a high-level summary of significant flood risk. It describes both the likelihood and consequences of past and future flooding. The PFRA considers flooding from the following sources: surface runoff, groundwater and ordinary watercourses and any interaction these may have with main rivers and the sea.
The key objectives of the PFRA
- Collect information on past and future (potential) floods within the study area
- Assemble this information into a report
- Review the indicative Flood Risk Areas delineated by the Environment Agency
- Explain and justify any amendments to these areas where necessary
- Provide a summary of the systems used for data sharing and storage
- Provide a summary of arrangements for quality assurance, security and data licensing
- Describe how we collaborate on collection, assessment and storage of flood risk data and information
- Identify relevant partner organisations involved in future assessment of flood risk
- Summarise means for future and ongoing stakeholder engagement
- Provide a useful reference point for all local flood risk management and inform future local strategies
