Science Report – Understanding of and response to severe flash flooding: literature review ii Science at the Environment Agency Science underpins the work of the Environment Agency. It provides an up-to-date understanding of the world about us and helps us to develop monitoring tools and techniques to manage our environment as efficiently and effectively as possible. The work of the Environment Agency’s Science Department is a key ingredient in the partnership between research, policy and operations that enables the Environment Agency to protect and restore our environment. The science programme focuses on five main areas of activity: • Setting the agenda, by identifying where strategic science can inform our evidence-based policies, advisory and regulatory roles; • Funding science, by supporting programmes, projects and people in response to long-term strategic needs, medium-term policy priorities and shorter-term operational requirements; • Managing science, by ensuring that our programmes and projects are fit for purpose and executed according to international scientific standards; • Carrying out science, by undertaking research – either by contracting it out to research organisations and consultancies or by doing it ourselves; • Delivering information, advice, tools and techniques, by making appropriate products available to our policy and operations staff. Steve Killeen Head of Science Science Report – Understanding of and response to severe flash flooding: literature review iii Executive summary About the report This report presents the findings of the literature review phase of a research project looking at the public’s understanding of and response to severe flash flooding, which the Environment Agency commissioned the Halcrow Group, the Flood Hazard Research Centre at Middlesex University and Ben Cave Associates to undertake in March 2008. The overall objective of this research project was to understand people’s perceptions of severe flash flooding and what their needs are in order to make an appropriate and effective response. Investigation into the meteorological and hydrological conditions that cause flash flooding and flood forecasting and modelling systems are outside the scope of this research project. The next phase of the project is qualitative research using focus groups and one-to-one interviews with professionals involved in a response operation to a recent flash flood. Background The UK has recently experienced a number of flash floods, such as those that occurred in Boscastle in 2004 and Helmsley in 2005. Flash floods are characterised by very short times between rainfall and consequent flooding. They also present an extreme danger to life, property and infrastructure because of the suddenness in the rise in water level, the flow velocity and debris. Consequently, predicting, preparing for and responding to flash floods poses great challenges. There is some evidence that the hazard of flash floods is growing due to climate change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007). Some researchers have also noted that human vulnerability to this hazard is growing because of increased development (Adams and Hooke, 2001). Key findings Key findings of the literature review relating to each of the five themes of the research project are as follows. Understanding of the term ‘flash flooding’: • Key characteristics of flash floods based on professional agencies’ definitions are the short lead in time involved (usually defined as less than six hours), the link to heavy rainfall, dam failure as a possible cause, the volume and velocity of water involved, the danger presented by debris, the potential to cause material damage and the urgent threat to life. • There is little research into how the public understands the term ‘flash flood’ and on awareness of the danger presented by such flooding. • Analysis of print media reporting of four flash flood case studies shows a good understanding of the key characteristics of flash floods. However, a broader analysis of print media articles indicates that the media also use the term more generally to describe sudden flooding associated with heavy or excessive rainfall. • The media have a key role to play in disseminating hazard messages and raising public awareness. However, print media articles rarely give specific public education messages with instructions about what to do in the event of a flash flood. Science Report – Understanding of and response to severe flash flooding: literature review iv Appropriate and effective responses before and during flooding: • Risk management agencies and the public have different ways of judging whether an action is appropriate and effective or not. • Mortality and injury depend on individual flash flood characteristics, characteristics of the area and people’s individual characteristics. However, avoiding risky behaviour, including walking and driving through floods, and climbing to higher ground are the cornerstones of effective response. • Drivers are especially vulnerable and difficult to warn and often underestimate the power of floodwaters. • The evidence suggests that evacuation does not always constitute an appropriate and effective response to flash flooding. Getting those at risk to realise and respond to this type of flood risk • Public information and awareness-raising activities are key to effective flood response. They should focus on the causes and signs of flash flooding, how to stay safe during a flash flood and when and how to evacuate. • Local knowledge and involvement in preparing for flash floods is crucial but there is some evidence to indicate that local knowledge is being undermined. • Whatever the source of a warning, the more times it is received the more likely it is to be believed. Therefore, several different delivery methods should be used, although the message must be consistent. • Vulnerable groups may not receive a warning unless it is a targeted at them. False alarms • Empirical evidence on the public’s tolerance of false warnings is difficult to find, with some saying that they would prefer to receive a warning even if there is no subsequent flood, while others state that they would begin to take warnings less seriously if they are received too often without flooding. There is some evidence that response to future warnings will not be diminished by false alarms where the basis of the false alarm is clear to the public. • Evidence from operational settings indicates that professional partners would prefer to be put on standby at an earlier stage, even if they were subsequently stood down. However, this evidence is limited. Lead time for warnings • The evidence suggests that longer lead times for flood warnings may result in increased benefits for health and reduced damage, but the evidence on damage reduction is not sufficient or robust. However, floods for which long warning times are not possible, such as flash floods, may be associated with reduced benefits from warnings whatever the lead time. • Evacuation may not always be the safest form of action. The characteristics of individual floods, of building type and structure, as well as the warning

    Geographies of ageing and disaster: older people’s experiences of post- disaster recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand Submitted by Sarah Tupper to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography In April 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract It was 12:51pm on Tuesday the 22nd of February when a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand’s South Island. This earthquake devastatingly took the lives of 185 people and caused widespread damage across Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Since the February earthquake there has been 15,832 quakes in the Canterbury region. The impact of the earthquakes has resulted in ongoing social, material and political change which has shaped how everyday life is experienced. While the Christchurch earthquakes have been investigated in relation to a number of different angles and agendas, to date there has been a notable absence on how older people in Christchurch are experiencing post-disaster recovery. This PhD research attends to this omission and by drawing upon geographical scholarship on disasters and ageing to better understand the everyday experiences of post-disaster recovery for older people. This thesis identifies a lack of geographical attention to the emotional, affective and embodied experience of disaster.

    East Riding of Yo rkshire Council Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015 Consultation Draft "Reducing flood risk, sustaining communities, enabling growth" EAST RIDING OF YORKS HIRE LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CONSULTATION DRAFT MARCH 2015 ©2015. East Riding of Yorkshire Council. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior permission of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council 3 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introducing the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the East Riding of Yorkshire The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (Local FRM Strategy) sets out what the Council intends to do, working with organisations, businesses and communities, to manage the risk of flooding in the East Riding of Yorkshire over the next 10-15 years. It is of interest to all who live and work in the area, as managing the risk of flooding requires action by everyone. It is of interest to organisations that have specific responsibilities for managing flood risk such as the Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards and the Highways Agency, as they are legally required to act in a manner that is consistent with it in exercising these flood risk duties, and must also have regard to it in carrying out other work they do that may affect flood risk. Water companies are also legally required to have regard to the Local FRM Strategy in relation to their flood risk management functions. Putting flood risk into context As recent times have shown, many parts of the East Riding are susceptible to flooding, and the impacts can be wide ranging and severe.

  • Battle for the Floodplains
    Battle for the Floodplains: An Institutional Analysis of Water Management and Spatial Planning in England Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Karen Michelle Potter September 2012 Abstract Dramatic flood events witnessed from the turn of the century have renewed political attention and, it is believed, created new opportunities for the restoration of functional floodplains to alleviate the impact of flooding on urban development. For centuries, rural and urban landowning interests have dominated floodplains and water management in England, through a ‘hegemonic discourse alliance’ on land use development and flood defence. More recently, the use of structural flood defences has been attributed to the exacerbation of flood risk in towns and cities, and we are warned if water managers proceeded with ‘business as usual’ traditional scenarios, this century is predicted to see increased severe inconveniences at best and human catastrophes at worst. The novel, sustainable and integrated policy response is highly dependent upon the planning system, heavily implicated in the loss of floodplains in the past, in finding the land for restoring functioning floodplains. Planners are urged to take this as a golden opportunity to make homes and businesses safer from flood risk, but also to create an environment with green spaces and richer habitats for wildlife. Despite supportive changes in policy, there are few urban floodplain restoration schemes being implemented in practice in England, we remain entrenched in the engineered flood defence approach and the planner’s response is deemed inadequate. The key question is whether new discourses and policy instruments on sustainable, integrated water management can be put into practice, or whether they will remain ‘lip-service’ and cannot be implemented after all.
