PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)·Page 12·2.13
Flood Risk Management Plan Themes
The FRMPs are organized around three main themes: Prevention (avoiding development in flood-risk areas and promoting appropriate land use), Protection (implementing structural and non-structural flood mitigation measures), and Preparedness (flood warning, emergency planning, public information, and property adaptation).
The FRMPs focus on 3 main themes, as follows:
PREVENTION
• The avoidance of, where possible, new development in areas of flood risk,
• Promoting appropriate land use, agriculture and forestry practices.
PROTECTION
• Structural and non-structural measures to reduce the likelihood and impact of floods.
PREPAREDNESS
• Flood warning,
• Flood emergency planning. A Local Resilience Forum has been established for Belfast with other areas to follow,
• Informing the public about flood risk and what to do in the event of a flood to their property,
• Adapting existing property to the risk of flooding.
