Together with other partner authorities and key stakeholders in Devon we have reviewed and updated the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy, the main document for 2021-2027 can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0As the Lead Local Flood Authority for its area, we produced this strategy in line with the Flood and Water Management Act 2010.<\/p>\n

Devon\u2019s previous strategy for 2014-2020 is still available and consists of a collection of documents including the\u00a0main document<\/a> and a\u00a0summary <\/a>report. A\u00a0report showing achievements for 2019-20<\/a>\u00a0has been produced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The high-level strategic document outlines the responsibilities of the Risk Management Authorities in Devon and how they are working in partnership to coordinate local flood risk management. This covers everything from engaging with communities and preparing for floods, responding to flood events, collaborating on flood risk studies and investing in flood improvements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The local Action Plan<\/a>\u00a0shows the flood alleviation\u00a0projects which Devon County Council is financially contributing to in 2025\/2026. Other risk management authorities in Devon will have their own projects they are contributing to \u2013 for more information contact them directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In order to update the strategy, a series of addendums will be made available to sit alongside the main document. The Summer 2025 Newsletter<\/a> gives an update on how Devon and its partners have progressed and how they are fulfilling their duties and responsibilities. Please email us<\/a> if you would like to see older versions of the strategy newsletter.\"\"<\/p>\n
