The London Flood Response Strategic Plan sets out the principles that govern the multi-agency response to a significant flood in London.

The London Flood Response Strategic Plan

The London Flood Response Strategic Plan sits alongside the Strategic Emergency Plan for London and the relevant emergency plans of all Category 1 responders and other organisations concerned with supporting the community when a flood occurs.

The main objective of the Plan is to ensure a coordinated response to a flood, which will protect life and well-being with the mitigation of property and environmental damage as a strong supporting objective.

The primary focus is on both tidal flooding from the River Thames and on fluvial flooding from tributaries that flow into the River Thames in London. The procedures also apply to surface water flooding resulting from excessive rainfall.For any comments or queries concerning this document, please contact the London Resilience Team via enquiries-lrt.gol@go-regions.gsi.gov.uk.
