Tactical Flood Response Plan Part One OFFICIAL Tactical Flood Response Plan Part One Version 5.1 Author NRF Severe Weather & Flood Risk Group Reviewed by NRF Severe Weather & Flood Risk Authorised by Environment Agency Next review date June 2018 OFFICIAL Page 1 of 65 OFFICIAL Foreword This document has been produced after consultation with Category 1 and 2 Responders (as defined within the Civil Contingencies Act 2004), through the Norfolk Resilience Forum. It provides guidance by which Norfolk can be suitably prepared to respond to an actual or potential major flooding emergency, whereby the combined resources of numerous agencies are required. It will be used by these agencies when information is received or events occur that require a coordinated response at the tactical level.

  • Applicability of a Nationwide Flood Forecasting System for Typhoon
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Applicability of a nationwide food forecasting system for Typhoon Hagibis 2019 Wenchao Ma1*, Yuta Ishitsuka2, Akira Takeshima1, Kenshi Hibino1, Dai Yamazaki1, Kosuke Yamamoto3, Misako Kachi3, Riko Oki3, Taikan Oki4,5 & Kei Yoshimura1* Floods can be devastating in densely populated regions along rivers, so attaining a longer forecast lead time with high accuracy is essential for protecting people and property. Although many techniques are used to forecast foods, sufcient validation of the use of a forecast system for operational alert purposes is lacking. In this study, we validated the fooding locations and times of dike breaking that had occurred during Typhoon Hagibis, which caused severe fooding in Japan in 2019. To achieve the goal of the study, we combined a hydrodynamic model with statistical analysis under forcing by a 39-h prediction of the Japan Meteorological Agency’s Meso-scale model Grid Point Value (MSM-GPV) and obtained dike-break times for all fooded locations for validation. The results showed that this method was accurate in predicting foods at 130 locations, approximately 91.6% of the total of 142 fooded locations, with a lead time of approximately 32.75 h. In terms of precision, these successfully predicted locations accounted for 24.0% of the total of 542 locations under a food warning, and on average, the predicted food time was approximately 8.53 h earlier than a given dike-break time. More warnings were issued for major rivers with severe fooding, indicating that the system is sensitive to extreme food events and can issue warnings for rivers subject to high risk of fooding.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

  • Canoe and Kayak Licence Requirements
    Canoe and Kayak Licence Requirements Waterways & Environment Briefing Note On many waterways across the country a licence, day pass or similar is required. It is important all waterways users ensure they stay within the licensing requirements for the waters the use. Waterways licences are a legal requirement, but the funds raised enable navigation authorities to maintain the waterways, improve facilities for paddlers and secure the water environment. We have compiled this guide to give you as much information as possible regarding licensing arrangements around the country. We will endeavour to keep this as up to date as possible, but we always recommend you check the current situation on the waters you paddle. Which waters are covered under the British Canoeing licence agreements? The following waterways are included under British Canoeing’s licensing arrangements with navigation authorities: All Canal & River Trust Waterways - See www.canalrivertrust.org.uk for a list of all waterways managed by Canal & River Trust All Environment Agency managed waterways - Black Sluice Navigation; - River Ancholme; - River Cam (below Bottisham Lock); - River Glen; - River Great Ouse (below Kempston and the flood relief channel between the head sluice lock at Denver and the Tail sluice at Saddlebrow); - River Lark; - River Little Ouse (below Brandon Staunch); - River Medway – below Tonbridge; - River Nene – below Northampton; - River Stour (Suffolk) – below Brundon Mill, Sudbury; - River Thames – Cricklade Bridge to Teddington (including the Jubilee

For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In this datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.

  • Flash Flood Alert Toolbox Talk
    Flash Flood Alert Toolbox Talk Flash Flood Warning means flash flooding is occurring or is imminent in the specified area. Move to safe ground immediately. Flash floods can strike any time and any place with little or no warning. In both mountainous and flat terrain, distant rain can be channeled into gullies and ravines, turning a quiet streamside campsite or creek into a rampaging torrent in minutes. City streets can become rivers in seconds. Observe these flash flood safety rules; they could save your life: • Keep alert for signs of heavy rain (thunder and lightning), both where you are and upstream. Watch for rising water levels. • Know where high ground is and get there quickly if you see or hear rapidly rising water. • Be especially cautious at night as it's harder to recognize the danger then. • Do not attempt to walk across or drive through flooded areas or roadways. You will not know the depth of the water. • Don't try to drive through flooded areas. • If your vehicle stalls, abandon it and seek higher ground immediately. During threatening weather listen to commercial radio or NOAA Weather Radio, or watch television for Flash Flood Watch means it is possible that rains will Watch and Warning Bulletins. cause flash flooding in the specified area. Be alert and prepared for a flood emergency.
