Flood in the United Kingdom, July 2007

Following the severe flooding that had affected the central and northern parts of England in the end of June and the beginning of July 2007, the south-west of England and Wales had been hit by severe weather again, with flooding affecting thousands of homes and leaving many without water and electricity. The areas worst affected included the counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, Hereford and Worcestershire.

The Charter was triggered by the UK cabinet office and the charter project management was done by the UK environmental agency.
