National Scale Assessments
In order to gain a better understanding of the risk arising from flooding and coastal erosion and the investment levels that might be necessary to deal with this, Defra has commissioned a series of national scale studies.
National Assessment of Defence Needs and Costs (NADNAC)
This is the latest in a series of national assessments, building on the earlier studies and using improved data and methodologies to quantify current risk levels and explore some of the assumptions. The work focused on quantifying funding requirements for defence infrastructure rather than repeating the assessment of assets at risk and is based on the situation as it was in the year 2000.

National Appraisal of Assets at Risk of Flooding and Coastal Erosion in England and Wales
Defra (then MAFF) published the first phase of this study in June 2000 and an updated version, including indicative national maps and a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of climate change, was published in September 2001.
