Abstract

Flooding is a dangerous and widespread challenge to many communities in England, especially those in the North West (NW). A crucial element of effective flood risk management is resilient community led flood groups e.g., Flood action groups. These voluntary grassroot groups are a key part to founding and embedding resilience in flood prone communities, yet their resilience and longevity is precarious. To assess the successes/failures of these groups, a workshop was conducted in Cumbria, with results highlighting relationships with stakeholders as a significant barrier faced by groups, followed by internal factors such as the spirit and focus of the group.
