i3p talks with Jacobs

The new National Flood Risk Assessment (NaFRA2) and National Coastal Erosion Risk Mapping (NCERM2) provide updated projections of future inland flood risk (fluvial and surface water) and coastal erosion risk for the whole of England, and account for the potential impact of future climate change. The NaFRA2 and NCERM2 outputs provide a more robust, and nationally consistent flood and coastal erosion risk dataset to be used by flood risk and coastal managers, planners, decision makers, infrastructure operators, and the public. This talk will cover how both the NaFRA2 and NCERM2 data could be used by infrastructure operators and others, to support asset management and flood resilience in a changing climate.
