The tension and our thesis
The tension
Hazards are arriving faster than protection: the works that cut flood risk complete between 2030 and 2031, while warnings are being sharpened now and the financial cushion is still being designed.
Our thesis
Close the gap between hazard and protection with a published risk-ranked works schedule, warnings tied to action, and a protection-gap measure.
Three policy problems this brief examines
- 01Hazards arrive faster than protection
- 02Warnings improve, hotspots persist
- 03Financial cover is still being designed
Each problem is developed in three layers: the fact, why it persists, and the consequence for the system.
Three options compared
A · Crash programme: finish all drainage and coastal works early.
B · Warning-led: AI warnings, drones and emergency centre; works as scheduled.
C · Cover-led: climate insurance and household protection scheme.
The scored comparison, the justified recommendation with its phased measures, the implementation challenges, the stakeholder assessment and the success metrics are in the full brief.
