Flood Resilience

How to Improve the Flood Resilience of Properties and help your Residents Cope

Whether it is due to violent storms or higher tides, flooding seems to be becoming a regular event in the UK. As the risk increases, coping with floods is going to be a valuable skill.

The impact of flooding on people and buildings can be severe: many people who were flooded last summer are still living in caravans and some have been inundated again this winter.

This workshop aims to help housing providers to help their residents to withstand flood danger and when necessary, deal with the consequences of inundation.
