1 Flood Risk Management Protecting and Planning for our Communities PLANNING FOR SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES Mark Adamson Office of Public Works 12 th February, 2014
2 A WET START TO THE YEAR!
3 STORM CHRISTINE NEW YEAR THE PERFECT STORM Coincidence of: Highest Astronomical Tides Severe Depression -> Significant Storm Surge Very High Winds -> Significant Wave Set-Up Storm Damage & Erosion e.g., Lahinch Flooding: Extreme Sea Levels e.g., Galway City, Shannon Estuary, Cork, Dublin, Dundalk Wave Action e.g., Lahinch, Salthill, Tramore Significant Damage to Infrastructure
4 STORM BRIGID 1 st FEB ANOTHER ONE! Similar Coincidence of Events H.A.T. Conditions, Extreme Surge, Gale-Force Winds Westerly Winds -> Surge up the Shannon Estuary Limerick & Shannon Estuary Highest water levels in >80yrs Appx. 200mm higher than October 1961 Mainly Affected Areas around Kings Island & St. Mary s Park (300 Properties) Area Targeted for Re-Generation Decisions to be made! Affected Other Areas on West Coast
5 STORM BRIGID II 3/4 th FEB A THIRD!!! Same Story Again! H.A.T. Conditions, Extreme Surge, Gale-Force Winds Southerly Winds -> South / South East Coast Cork City: 3 rd Feb, a.m. & 4 th Feb, p.m. Levels Marginally Lower than 2004 Tidal Event Estimated 150 Business Properties Flooded South Coast Youghal, Passage East, Wexford, New Ross,
6 INLAND FLOODING PROLONGED PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL January: Above Average Everywhere: 122% 183% Monthly Average Wet Days in the Month across the Country Wettest January in 5 21 Years February So Far: Conveyor Belt of Atlantic Storms Series of Days of Heavy Rainfall HIGH RIVER LEVELS
7 INLAND FLOODING
8 INLAND FLOODING
9 INLAND FLOODING
10 INLAND FLOODING PROLONGED PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL January: Above Average Everywhere: 122% 183% Monthly Average Wet Days in the Month across the Country Wettest January in 5 21 Years February So Far: Conveyor Belt of Atlantic Storms Series of Days of Heavy Rainfall HIGH RIVER LEVELS Shannon Remains High since before New Year More Recently: West, South-West and South-East Limited Flooding of Communities
11 SO WHAT HAS THE REACTION BEEN?
12 AFFECTED PEOPLE RESIDENTS & BUSINESS OWNERS Many Un-Prepared Many Un-Insured HELP! HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME 10m (Storm Christine ) + 15m (Storm Bridgid ) Managed by Dept. Social Protection
13 AFFECTED PEOPLE BUT SOME WERE PREPARED Cork City Floods: We know what to do We were back in business 2 hours later Business Owner (3 rd Feb) Many Businesses Open again by Lunch-time or in the Afternoon RTE (5 th Feb) Not Possible for All (e.g., Catering) Resilience can Reduce Impact & Damages Need to Build Further Awareness, Preparedness & Resilience in our Communities
14 COUNCILS PRAISED FOR RECOVERY EFFORT PRAISED FOR PREPARATORY EFFORT Particularly so for 4 th Feb Opportunity for Review of Flood Event Emergency Response Plans REQUIRE FUNDING ASSISTANCE Govt. Committed 70m Fund for Repairs ONGOING NEED TO FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE PLANNING
15 PLANNING MAJOR CRITICISM AFTER NOV 09 EVENT NOW REFERRED TO AGAIN Has to be a lot more advance planning (some local authorities) need to do more Ciaran Cuffe, RTE, 4 th Feb Greater Focus Required on Coastal Areas Lot of Work Required to Solve Existing Problems Let s Not Create New Ones!
16 CLIMATE CHANGE REFERRED TO FREQUENTLY We re Going to See a Wetter Irish Climate We ve Got to Plan for That Ciaran Cuffe, RTE, 4 th Feb WAS CLIMATE CHANGE TO BLAME? MSL Rise of 200mm over Last Century Current Rate of Rise 3.2mm/yr Contributory Factor, But Not Sole Cause However Need to Consider What Future Changes Might Be, and Plan to Adapt / Provide for Change
17 GET ON WITH IT! PUBLIC FRUSTRATION WITH DELAYS Totally Understandable! BUT Challenging Construction Projects: Up to 40m Civils Projects in City / Town Centres on Public and Private Lands Legal Requirements: Procurement, Consultation, Environmental Assessment, Planning / Public Exhibition,. Complex Design Process: Modelling complex natural systems, often under uncertainty Need to be Sure It s the Right Project - Rushed Job can be a Bad Job!
