Flooding - Have Your Say

Homeowners, residents and businesses caught up in the recent flooding, along with those whose property is susceptible to high water levels, are being invited to submit their views and experiences as part of a government review called "Lessons Learned".

The Review will be carried out by the Cabinet Office with support from the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs and the Department for Communities and Local Government and will examine both how to reduce the risk and impact of floods and the emergency response to the floods.

The study will also examine how to co-ordinate responses to a similar situation in the future and how to look after and inform the public, and will make recommendations to improve the UK's preparedness for flooding.

Sir Michael Pitt, the independent chairman of the review, will visit communities affected by the floods, which hit parts of north east England, the Midlands and the west in the summer.
Sir Michael said: "I intend to spend time visiting affected communities, talking to residents, local businesses and members of front line services to get their first-hand experiences."
