New flood information and advice website launched

Tue, 12 Jan 2021


A new website has been launched to provide advice, support and information to protect against flooding on the Island.

The iomfloodhub website will give information on the risk of flooding from the sea, rivers and surface water in the form of an interactive map.

Site visitors can also report incidents of flooding to the website.

Tynwald agreed in October to transfer responsibility for flood risk management to the Department of Infrastructure from Manx Utilities.

The move is designed to ensure flood risk and coastal management comes under a single point of political leadership, delivering solutions more promptly, and is made in response to recommendations from the ARUP report into the 2019 flooding in Laxey.
