This map shows the homes across Greater Manchester at risk of flooding.
There are currently around 50,000 homes in the region at risk of river floods with a further 163,000 also at risk of flooding from surface water. And these figures could rise in the future as the climate crisis deepens.
Many of the properties at highest risk are in south Manchester along the River Mersey with even more located along the River Irwell in Salford and Radcliffe. The Boxing Day floods of 2015 devastated large parts of Greater Manchester, costing councils in Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Salford and Wigan around £11.5m in total.
