Abstract
Discusses new tools to help quantify the benefits of flood risk management. Aims to enable practitioners to: make, justify and communicate flood risk management option selection, supporting investment decisions across a portfolio of flood risk management responses at a range of spatial scales; identify and strengthen the links and dependencies between the actions and provision of advice by the Environment Agency and the putting in place of responses that reduce flood risk by other authorities, businesses and the public; and ensure that people are protected in the future by considering a broader range of flood risk management options, thus allowing flood risk management practitioners to explore portfolios of responses that are more adaptable to future climate conditions.
