START NEW 23-04-2022 FLOODre and using Insurance to improve resilience on reinstatement. Many of us have been saying for years that flood victims should be professionally advised and helped to reinstate their properties in a more flood resilient way. However, I have been uncomfortable with the encouragement to be "resilient" because I knew that it costs a lot more than just installing a flood door or two. Properly fitting flood doors might hold back water, but water seeps in everywhere else. Making a property as "resilient" as possible, tanking and so on, was way beyond the financial reach of a lot of families - and even something as obvious as re-wiring from top down was not routinely accepted by insurance companies wanting to carry out like-for-like replacement. This scheme, at last, offers a chance to give those recovering from floods a fighting chance to keep as much flood water out of their homes as possible, plus an easier and faster recovery .... next time. It will not take the fear away when it rains but it is a huge - and very welcome - help. water companies … 16-10-2021 FLOOD RISK: Environment Agency’s Flood Map for Planning.
