Work in Progress - Flood Risk Management in Northern Ireland

Work in progress

We are currently undertaking work in order to produce this publication. Details of when we aim to publish the finalised report are indicated below.

This report assesses how effectively the Department for Infrastructure is managing flood risk across Northern Ireland, focusing on prevention and protection activities within the Flood Risk Management Plan. It examines planning policy, the use and updating of Flood Maps NI, oversight of development in flood‑risk areas, and the Department’s management of flood defence assets, alongside progress on major programmes such as Living With Water. 

We expect to publish this report May 2026
