Arriving to conduct flood surveys on behalf of DEFRA, only to find skip lined streets from the recent flooding is always a tough sight. However, there's hope that these homes can be made more resilient to future flood events with the help of the flood grant and build Back Better initiative. Let's work towards minimising the impact of such events on our communities. #DEFRA #floodprevention #buildbackbetter

Floods are the most common natural disaster yet a minority of homeowners have coverage. Think floods won't affect you because you're far from water? Think again! Persistent rainfall is one of the most common reasons for flooding. Plus, most homeowner's policies don't cover flooding. Are you covered? #FloodInsurance #StayProtected

Flood and water damage are different risks, and coverage varies. Floods, the most common natural disaster, aren’t covered by standard homeowner policies. Water damage, like burst pipes, is more common but may have limits. Talk to your agent to ensure you’re fully protected. #FloodInsurance #WaterDamage #HomeInsurance

If you live in a region prone to wildfires, it's important to be prepared for the floods and mudslides that frequently follow blazes in rural areas. After a wildfire, the charred ground it leaves is far less able to absorb water. This greatly increases the risk of flash floods and mudflows during rainfall. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) describes this double threat from fire and floods as “a one-two punch.” Before residents can repair their fire-damaged homes, they often are hit with torrents of water or rivers of mud. Find out more about the details of how these two natural disasters can effect one another. https://lnkd.in/gdyy89m5
