Tuesday, 3rd November 2015
Central London
Guests of Honour: Neil Hornby, Deputy Director, Flood Risk Management, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and David Rooke, Executive Director of Flood and Coastal Risk Management, Environment Agency
This conference will be a timely opportunity to assess the policy priorities for flood and coastal risk management in England. It follows the announcement of Government plans to invest £2.3 billion in flood defence projects up to 2021.
Sessions will evaluate the impact of planned funding and how it can be best targeted, as well as the latest progress of major schemes. There will also be discussion on the new Flood Re insurance scheme, currently due to begin operation from April 2016, that aims to ensure that those at highest risk of flooding can receive affordable cover for the flood element of their household property insurance.
