  • Herefordshire Council Local Climate Impacts Profile
    Herefordshire Council Local Climate Impacts Profile Author: Matthew Locking M.Sc. in conjunction with the Sustainability Unit Updated and formatted Rebecca Baker, Sustainability Intern 1 . Herefordshire Council and the County in general has been subjected to eighty-four significant weather events over the last ten years, of which nearly half are related to heavy rain and flooding. This total figure is probably an underestimate as this is only the number reported in one local paper and certain types of event, such as heat and drought, are thought to be under- represented within such sources. Of these eighty-four events, five were picked out for further investigation re their impact on delivery of council services and finances. In reality only one event, the July 2007 floods, was the subject of a full range of interviews with key personnel from the affected service areas. This event is by far the most significant weather event to have impacted on Council services within the last ten years. The number of significant weather events is predicted to increase over the next ten years as a result of climate change and Herefordshire Council and the County as a whole needs to develop an increased level of adaptation strategies for events such as flash flooding. The database of events underpinning the LCLIP should continue to be updated and this LCLIP should be used as a resource to assess the authority’s susceptibility to severe weather and improve its resilience to future events. 2 Contents 1.0 Introduction: context & purpose 4 2.0 Severe weather
