Key milestone reached for Humber 2100+

The Humber 2100+ ’Understand Risk’ evidence base has now been endorsed by all members of the partnership. This is a key milestone for the project as these outputs form the basis for understanding strategic flood risk across the Humber going forwards and enable us to work together on an adaptive approach to managing tidal risk across the interconnected estuary system.

The outputs from Understand Risk will inform the next stages of the project, as well as shaping our ongoing investment on the ground. The project team and partners are currently focused on moving into ‘Agree approaches’ (Step 2), with a number of key areas of work progressing. These include reviewing our governance arrangements to ensure they are still appropriate as we move into the next stage of the project; consideration of the evidence required to produce ‘approaches’ for managing tidal flood risk; and reflections on the lessons learned from Understand Risk. The partnership is also working on ways to present the Understand Risk outputs to the wider public.
