This table is a summary of the Environment Agency's guidance.
We have created a guide for flood forum groups who want to
create a website similar to this - starting with something simple
and then growing in sophistication.
This guide set outs 'what
is easy / medium / hard' to do, depending on the ability of
the most technical person in the flood forum. It also shows
what is free or reasonably cheap.

As well as a dedicated PVFF Flood Map that contains map layers from various sources and map layers that are specific to the Pang Valley, we now also provide a National Flood Map, showing may layers for all of Great Britain (or to the extent that the map layer providers provide their data).
To get involved, please email us. We can introduce you to your local flood warden or you might want to come to a meeting to share your ideas.
