Flood and Coastal Defence Operating Authorities
Flood and Coastal Defence Operating Authorities are organisations responsible for managing, maintaining and operating infrastructure and strategies to reduce flood and coastal erosion risk. Speak with a consultant to assess how existing defence standards affect your site. The GOV.UK flood risk and coastal change guidance sets out the responsibilities of each operating authority.
Case Example
The Environment Agency maintains and operates the Thames Barrier as a Flood and Coastal Defence Operating Authority, protecting large parts of London from tidal flooding.
Know your defence standards. Rida Reports assesses them within your Flood Risk Assessment.
