Midlands Regional Flood and Coastal Committees

Regional Flood and Coastal Committees (RFCCs) are bodies through which the Environment Agency Midlands carries out its work on flood risk management.

There are two Regional Flood and Coastal Committees operating in Midlands region:

RFCCs were set up under the Floods and Water Management Act 2010. The committees have a chair appointed by the Minister, members from Lead Local Flood Authorities (allowing for local democratic input) and independent members recruited by the Environment Agency who have specialist skills or backgrounds.
