The Environment Agency has confirmed its website will close next
month as its online guidance and services moves to gov.uk The regulator
is following in the footsteps of government departments, including Defra
and Decc, which moved across to the gov.uk website last year.
The
agency has reassured users that, while its existing website will cease
to exist, bookmarks and links saved to individual computers will still
work, either redirecting to pages containing the same information on the
gov.uk
website, or to archived webpages. Online services, such as the agency’s
flood warnings, for example, will not change and will remain accessible
from the current URLs.
The new platform has been designed to work
on mobile devices and also offers users the option to sign up to regular
email alerts notifying them when content, such as guidance, has been
updated.
The agency’s new web address will be gov.uk/environment-agency.
