The Floods Resilience Taskforce held its first full meeting on 12 September 2024. Following this meeting a series of working level discussions have been held with various Taskforce member organisations on specific issues, which will report back to the full Taskforce. These include a roundtable on the opportunities and barriers to delivering natural flood management, and sessions on flood forecasting and warning, and the new National Flood Risk Assessment and National Coastal Erosion Risk Assessment.
