Flooding can affect anyone. We all have a part to play to understand and manage the risk of flooding, whether we live, work or own land in the area.
Flooding can come from rivers, surface water, groundwater, drains, and watercourses. Severe weather can increase the risk of flooding. We can all take steps to reduce the risk and make Cambridgeshire better prepared for flooding when it does happen.
Our flood and water webpages help you understand flood risk in this area. They include advice on preparing for floods, planning, and development, and who is responsible for managing different types of flooding.
Reducing flood risk is everyone's responsibility. Local councils, the Environment Agency, drainage boards, water companies, developers, businesses, community groups, and residents all have a part to play. By working together and taking action, we can reduce the impact of flooding on people, homes, roads, and the environment.
