Met OfficeWe played a vital role throughout thesummer, providing highly accurate Forecasts and warnings ahead of theheavy rains.
2007 Floods
Environment Agency35,000 homes and businesses flooded from surface water for whichthere is no specific warning service. Our warning service on riverswas effective for the majority. But we were not able to provide 4,100properties – mainly on rivers which reacted quickly to the rain – withwarnings.

UK government’s ‘Pitt Review’ key recommendations (3 and 5)
“The Met Office should continue to improve its forecasting and predicting methods to a level which meets the needs of emergency responders.”
“The Environment Agency should work with partners to urgently take forward work to developtools and techniques to model surface water flooding.”
![Page 15: © Crown copyright Met Office PWS in support of disaster prevention and mitigation How to improve collaboration and coordination Sarah Davies UK Met Office.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ef25503460f94c0371a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
UK government’s ‘Pitt Review’ key recommendation (6)
“The Environment Agency and the Met Office should work together, through a joint centre, to improve their technical capability to forecast, model and warn against all sources of flooding.”
“The Review understands that this is a significant change to current arrangements and we do not take the option lightly”
