United Kingdom: Winter floods 2015-16

This publication fleshes out the United Kingdom's government response to the winter floods 2015-16 and the support schemes for recovery announced. In addition, this document discusses review plans announced by the government:

• a National Flood Resilience Review, taking place to better protect the UK from future flooding and increasingly extreme events.
• a new Cumbrian Floods Partnership group, formed to assess what flood defences are needed, reduce intensity of water flows and build relations between locals, community groups and planners.
