Global warming has had a major impact on flooding across the country.  By the end of the century, there will be a tenfold increase in flooding incidents in the UK. The Redbridge Major Incident Plan contains details of the Borough’s emergency response to any major incident (including flooding). The Environment Agency is responsible for the maintenance of “Main Rivers”, flood defences on these rivers and public warnings of flooding from them.
