Previous Digital Spotlights
Property Flood Resilience
► Streamed: Wednesday 25th November 2020
Over 5.2 million homes and businesses in England are at risk of flooding. As the number continues to increase, Property flood resilience (PFR) will and already is playing an important part of our response to managing flood risk with the potential to fit 200,000 homes in England with PFR over the next 50 years.
Our digital spotlight on PFR aims to explore how the Code of Practice as a standardised approach for the delivery and management of PFR will support property owners and businesses, getting them back to normal life quicker and how this framework should evolve.
Flood Response in Climate-Resilient Communities
► Streamed: Tuesday 26th January 2021
Climate change is set to dramatically increase the risk of flooding in the UK. As more frequent, intense rainfall is predicted and sea levels continue to rise, there are potentially drastic consequences for homes, businesses, and communities if we fail to prepare and respond effectively to flooding.
This Digital Spotlight: “Flood response in climate-resilient communities” aims to discuss how we can ensure communities are resilient to the threat of flooding posed by climate change. It is important communities have access to the knowledge and tools to give them control of how they prepare for and respond to flooding. Whether those tools include traditional defences, temporary barriers, building restoration, drainage, effective flood warnings, action plans or emergency response, communities must continue to evolve and build resilience to ensure we’re ready for flooding.
