Disclaimer
PFRAs have been produced by lead local flood authorities (LLFAs). As part of our duties under the Flood Risk Regulations, the Environment Agency has reviewed these reports and determined that they are compliant with the requirements of the legislation, guidance and reporting requirements. Under the Regulations the Environment Agency is responsible for publishing PFRAs. We are therefore providing a central point for publication of PFRAs to ensure we meet the requirements of the Regulations. We have encouraged LLFAs to publish their own PFRAs and where possible, have linked to their website or directly to the document on our publications catalogue.
The Environment Agency is not responsible for the content of these documents and any queries should be raised with the relevant LLFA.
