<p>Going into this winter every community that was affected by the storms and floods
of last winter will have the same or better standard of protection as they had before
last winter.</p><p>Following the tidal surge on 5 December 2013 and the winter storms,
a total of 890 recovery projects were identified across England; of these, 844 projects
involved the repair of flood defence assets. The remaining 46 involve surveys, studies
or actions relating to incident response.</p><p>By 31 October 2014, permanent repairs
had been completed for 802 (95%) of the 844 defence projects. There are 42 (5%) defence
projects where temporary repairs with contingency measures are in place, restoring
the standard of protection to pre-winter 2013/14 levels.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
