As you know, on the 25 June 2008 Sir Michael Pitt delivered to Government his report on the 2007 floods.

It made 92 recommendations covering: flood risk management (knowing when and where it may flood; better planning and reducing the risk of flooding and its impact); emergency response; maintaining power and water supplies and protecting essential services; better advice and helping people to protect their families and homes; and recovery.

Director of Civil Contingencies, Andy Marshall commented: "The Staffordshire Resilience Forum (SRF) has been actively engaged in the Pitt Review process, and welcomes its publication.

The Civil Contingencies Unit (CCU) continues to work on the second draft of the Staffordshire Emergency Flood Plan (SEFP), and will now consider implementing any new recommendations from the final report of the Pitt Review in this document. Formal consultation of the draft SEFP will commence in August 2008".
