MANAGING December 5th 2013 tidal surge. The bi-annual River Deben Association talk was delivered by David Kemp, Coastal Team Leader, Environment Agency (EA) to an audience of over 100 members.


Where can I launch my surfboard!


This was a fascinating account, taking us through the EA’s planning in the East Anglia Incident room whilst preparing for the surge of December 2013. We learnt about the importance of interagency partnership in reducing the


impact of the


flood surge. Although there was damage, there was no loss of life within East Anglia. The Incident Room. The


EA Incident room is based in Ipswich. Through constant analysis of tides and data, its forecasters plan for the various scenarios which may develop during a flood warning period. Much depends on the strength of the surge, and its timing in relation to high tide and to other weather conditions. When a flood is forecast, the key time is the preparation and prevention work within the 24 hours before the storm arrives. However, the EA Incident Room isn’t just concerned with flood planning and management. Day to day it also covers a diverse range of environmental issues, including: pollution and algae blooms, fire, ship wrecks, radiation, drought, and animals (eg foot and mouth).


More extreme situations


such as the 2013 surge require support called ‘mutual aid’ from partner agencies based elsewhere in England.


The tide measurement and classifications. There are seven places along the East Anglia coast where the tide is measured. Suffolk has 12 flood alert areas and 40 flood warning areas. Particular areas of concern along the Deben are: Bawdsey Ferry, Martlesham Creek, Methersgate, Felixstowe Hamlet, and Shottisham - plus


some isolated river properties. The impact of a flood also depends on whether the surge coincides with high tide. For example, on January 12th 2017 there was a 2.25m tidal surge; if it had coincided with high tide it would have been serious, but luckily, it peaked 2 hours before High Water. Moreover, a surge is a continuous event, so when the danger has passed in one area, another area is still waiting for the impact to hit.


Any forecast takes account of wind speed and direction, and wave height and direction. Added to this mix is a North Sea feature called ‘amphidromic points’; they operate like spokes of a wheel, where surges spin off the “spokes”, contributing to the surge, which adds to the danger of a higher volume of water making land at high tide.


Managing the incident The Incident Room operates on a 24/7 shift pattern, if an incident is sufficiently severe. The logistics team ensures that resources, equipment and accommodation for all the temporary deployed staff are organised.


The planning team produces an updated forecast every six hours, with two scenarios identified for every forecast: a likely scenario and a worse- case scenario.


Communication is a complex area, with increasing demands for instantaneous news commentary for different purposes and audiences. A major task is communicating with the public.


The communication teams ensure that the story and advice given to the media is consistent and accurate, with different impacts on different areas as it comes through.


An increasing issue is the


effect of social media, for example members of the public may go out looking for floods, without appreciating the severity. Before the flood


surge in 2013, one intrepid man wanted to know the best place to launch his surfboard! Sometimes road blocks are needed to help maintain safety. Practical Action. Once a likely scenario has been agreed, flood gates are closed, barriers are operated and potential obstructions are cleared. Countdown: the day before the December 5th 2013 surge. At 6am on the day before the


surge, the tidal data is analysed. In assessing the impact on different areas, the accepted phrase within the Incident Room is “who will get their feet wet?” The flood advisory service operates in the three counties (Norfolk,


Suffolk, Essex);


national and local media are briefed in accordance with the level of severity, and the emergency services take control.


The evening news cycle begins by 4pm so that local communities understand the likely impact on their area. Many people are concerned about their pets and won’t evacuate without them. Assessment of data continues through the night, with scenarios being constantly updated. The day of the flood - December 5th 2013. By 6am, a severe flood warning is issued, which results in increasing press queries. By 9am the Cabinet Office is briefed along with Gold and Silver Command structure and pumps and barriers are deployed.


Daylight hours are precious (this is December) and are crucial for enabling moving equipment and people safely. 2pm is the last forecast where the team can take action. VIP visits are arranged, which all need logistical support. As the surge passes through, staff have already been deployed to the coast to observe and monitor actual tidal flow, and flight observations are organised. By 5pm the press are


clamouring for news and the first press conference is held in Wells - the first area to be hit by the surge. At 7.30pm the tide arrives with the increased power of the surge; it takes seven hours and 45 minutes to pass through the area. Aftermath. As the surge moves through, routine work must continue; the tide is still coming in twice a day and forecasts are still required. The surge did not hit at high tide. There is damage, extensive in parts, but no loss of human life in East Anglia. Severe flood warnings


need to be removed and new flood alerts issued, where appropriate. Decisions are made regarding whether the evacuees in each area can return home. The future. The rising sea levels in the last 10 years mean that there is an increased risk of more low level flooding, possibly becoming the new normal.


More prevent loss of resources


will need to be deployed to minimise damage and to


life. But


compared with the Netherlands we should consider ourselves lucky, in the event of severe flooding, their nearest point of safe evacuation is to Germany.
