HRH The Duke of Gloucester supporting series of flood lectures from the Inter-institutional Group

02 March 2010

In the series of public lectures, experts from the UK and abroad will explore the impact of the UK’s growing flood risk on the built environment

The Duke of Gloucester Lecture Series: Flood Risk and the Built Environment is organised by the Inter-Institutional Flood Risk Management Group.

Robery Runcie, director of Flood and Coastal Risk Management at the Environment Agency said, will give the inaugural lecture. He will discuss the medium and long-term strategy for managing flood risk and enhancing flood resilience in the UK as well as addressing the implementation of the recommendations made by The Pitt Review.

Runcie said: “As well as continuing to build and maintain flood defences, we also want to encourage individuals and businesses to help themselves by making their property more resistant to flooding. This public lecture series will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss the options and decisions we all face in helping to reduce flood risk."
