In June 2009 Defra published a report on progress made against the Pitt report recommendations.
 
The water industry commissioned its own report following the 2007 floods, focused on emergency response and long-term planning. In July 2009 Water UK published a progress report on the water industry's actions, entitled 'One Year On'.
