Sport England, working with a number of national governing bodies for sport (The FA, RFU, RFL, ECB, LTA and EHB), has produced a set of information sheets and a downloadable template for clubs and facility managers to help them find out whether their facilities are at risk of flooding and if so how to develop a flood plan and other strategies that will help reduce the impact of flooding. The guidance documents include:

  • How to plan ahead – what to do to minimise the impact of future flooding of sports facilities
  • Developing a club flood plan – making sure everyone knows what to do in a flood
  • A flood plan template
  • Flood resilient design – how to make sports facilities more resilient to flooding
  • What to do to minimise the impact of flooding following a flood alert/flood warning
  • After the flood (buildings) – how to recover from a flood safely and quickly
  • After the flood (pitches and courts) – how to recover from a flood safely and quickly
