</em></strong></p><p>The above table shows the number of properties flooded during
the last 10 years across both business and homes, and includes all sources of flooding
– surface water, fluvial and coastal. The source of most of the data comes from Somerset
Council report produced post flooding which is why the information is not split between
homes and businesses. These reports are produced as part of the Flood & Water
Management Act 2010. The reports from 2022 have not yet been published, although the
Environment Agency are not aware of any properties flooding in Somerset during 2022.</p><p>
</p><p>For 2023 the Environment Agency estimated that 5 properties flooded in January
and around 120 properties flooded in May, however they are working with Somerset Council
to confirm exact numbers.</p>
