<p>Following severe weather events which have significant and wide area impacts, support
may be made available to impacted local authorities through the activation of the
Flood Recovery Framework</p><p><br> Before activating the Framework, Government considers
many factors - such as the severity, duration, and the extent of reported impacts
and how these compare to past events. The overall reported impacts affecting areas
including Ellesmere Port and Neston following Storm Christoph in January 2021 were
far lower than the trigger for previous activations in November 2019 and February
2020, and therefore the Framework was not activated.</p>
