Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of commissioning a national Climate Alert App to provide citizens with up-to-date information and advice on climate-related risks, including flooding, drought and wildfire, and guidance on adapting to and mitigating those risks.

The recently launched Common Warnings Framework makes weather and flood warnings more consistent and easier to understand through a common risk matrix and terminology across organisations.

This week the Environment Agency launches the ‘Flood Action Online' website, serving as a ‘one-stop-shop’, connecting people to existing services and flood information support.
