Exercise Watermark was the biggest and most successful national flood exercise (practice) ever held in the UK. It was led by Defra and the Welsh Government. The Environment Agency planned, managed and delivered it to test the nation’s response to severe and widespread flooding.
This summary describes what the Environment Agency did before and during Exercise Watermark, highlighting our response to widespread flooding incidents and how we work with other incident responders and communities to ensure that everybody is ready when flooding occurs.
