Surface water flood forecast workshop – summary report now available

iCASP Enhanced Surface Water Flood Forecasting workshop was held in Leeds in November 2022 with flood responders, which aimed to assess:

 If the new enhanced flood forecast products would be useful to responders.
 Whether access to the new products would change actions before a flood event,
compared to actions based only on current operational forecasts.
 How the enhanced flood forecast products could be further improved.

The event was attended by 21 participants, including flood responders from local authorities, the emergency services and community flood warden groups. Forecast providers from the
Met Office, Flood Forecasting Centre and Environment Agency, and academics and attendees from the private sector also participated. A summary report following the workshop is now available.
