GALWAY FLOOD RISK MAPS AVAILABLE IN NEXT 12 MONTHS

Date Published: 13-Mar-2013

New maps identifying areas in the city and county at risk of flooding are expected to be available by early next year.

The Office of Public works is currently advancing a national flood risk assessment programme called CFRAM, which is examining 300 locations.

The flood risk maps will be made available by next year, and the OPW will then hold public consultation events to garner local advice and information.

A presentation on the project was delivered to Galway city councillors at their meeting this week.
