[1] DfI is the competent authority[2] for the implementation of the EU Floods directive and has delegated the day to day delivery of the directive to DfI Rivers.
[3] The Strategic Flood Map (NI) [4] - Rivers & Sea was developed by the DfI Rivers in co-operation with the-then Department of the Environment (DOE).
The primary aim of the Strategic Flood Map is to provide an illustration of the areas throughout Northern Ireland that are considered to be at risk of flooding from rivers and the sea.
In December 2011 a new version of the map was released that refreshed the information on rivers and the sea, updated the historical information to include the latest flood events and for the first time it included a surface water flood layer.
