Senedd's environment committee will meet on Thursday to hear from agencies involved in the responses to Storm Bert and Storm Darragh .

Flooding in recent years has led to "skyrocketing" mental health issues locally, says foodbank organiser.

People are watching the river levels "all the time" and parents are having to "shut their curtains and turn the TV up a bit louder" Rhondda Cynon Taf council said it was looking at "how we can refine the council's internal warning systems".

The Senedd Environment Committee found communities were often "not sufficiently engaged" in decisions around flood risk by the various agencies involved.

One of the body's recommendations was to create a new flooding commissioner role for Wales to help coordinate efforts and lead on communication.

A Welsh government spokesperson said it had maintained a record level of funding of 75 m for its flood programme this year which will protect more than 45,000 homes.
