The Calderdale Flood Action Plan outlines our strategy to recover from past floods, reduce the impact of flooding, and enhance resilience for future events. It focuses on four critical areas:

  1. Strengthening Defences:
    • This involves projects and schemes aimed at reducing flooding from rivers and surface water.
  2. Natural Flood Management (NFM):
    • NFM focuses on managing the landscape to slow down water flow, mitigating flood risks.
  3. Resilient Infrastructure:
    • This involves strengthening critical infrastructure, including sewer systems, electricity substations, and transport routes.
  4. Community Resilience:
    • Collaborating with the community to prepare for and recover from flooding incidents.

Each area is overseen by an operational group.
