Defra launched a £4million Flood Resilience Community Pathfinder Scheme in 2013 to understand local resilience better and to contribute to our policy making. The scheme will close in March 2015 and - following an evaluation \u2013 we intend to share the lessons learnt with local authorities and community organisations.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Environment Agency\u2019s local teams work on a daily basis with at-risk communities across the country to build resilience.<\/p>

Long-Term Investment Scenarios (LTIS) and the six-year programme were developed by the Environment Agency and published on 2 December 2014. LTIS gives a high level and long term strategic picture of future investment needs using national level data. It cannot support programme level decisions because it does not contain sufficient detail to make such decisions. In contrast, decisions on allocation of funding to individual schemes in the six-year programme are made based on more detailed processes, guidance and local data.<\/p>

We are investing £3.2 billion on flood management in this parliament; a real term increase and half a billion pounds more than in the previous parliament. Going forward we are making a record level £2.3 billion capital commitment, investing in more than 1,400 schemes to improving defences; a further 9% real terms average increase. We estimate this will provide more than £30 billion of economic benefit and provide better protection for 300,000 households.<\/p>

This Government has developed a six-year programme of work, involving over 1,400 projects, to improve defences throughout the country between 2015 and 2021. This has been made possible by our record level of commitment by investing £2.3 billion in improving defences over the coming six years. Efficiency gains will ensure this funding goes even further. This work is projected to reduce the risk of flooding or erosion to at least 300,000 households by 2021, and avoid around £30 billion in economic damages.<\/p>

Partnership Funding is on track to bring up to £140 million in external funding over the four years to 2015, compared with £13 million during the previous four years. This is in addition to the £3.2 billion we have invested in Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management over this parliament.<\/p>
