The Humber Estuary is an area of significant economic importance whilst simultaneously highly vulnerable to tidal flood risk. The Environment Agency, in partnership with 11 Local Authorities from around the Humber, are working to develop a strategy that will address this risk and enable sustainable growth now and for the next 100 years.
Humber 2100+ focuses on the area around the Humber where flooding from the sea is the main source of flood risk. Other strategies identify ways of managing different sources of flooding such as from overtopping of rivers and heavy rainfall.
