Risk management authority RMA
The National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) strategy for England, published by the Environment Agency, identifies a risk management authority (RMA) as one of several entities including:
- The Environment Agency.
- Lead local flood authorities.
- District councils.
- Internal drainage boards.
- Highways authorities.
- Water and sewerage companies.
RMAs involved in FCERM have been urged by the Environment Agency to design their flood management plans and activities in a manner that is consistent with the National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management strategy.
For more information on the strategy, see Flood risk management.
