A PRACTICAL AND INFORMATIVE GUIDE TO FLOOD RISK. REVEALS JUST HOW SO MUCH OF THE PRESENT PROBLEMS COULD HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATED
How to recognise vulnerability to flooding - and what to do about it.
A self-assessment manual, with special reference to the UK.
Recent events have shown just how vulnerable thousands of properties in the UK are to flooding. Many have felt secure for decades, others have been hit several times over the past 10 years.
Flooding and the threat of flooding is (or at least should be) a great concern to all property owners.
This book will help you to determine the flood risk to your property.
It describes the nature of flooding by:
- rivers,
- the sea,
- over-flowing drains, and
- rising ground water.
All examples are taken from the UK, but the general principles can apply anywhere in the world.
There is a great deal that you can do to assess the degree to which your property is vulnerable to any one (or all) of these of these forms of flooding.
Just use the guidance provided here and you will be much better informed.
The book also provides you with a check list of things to do in order to protect your property (and contents) from flooding.
It also advises you on what to do in the event of a flood.
BUYERS BEWARE! It is especially important for you to gather this information in relation to any property that you may be wanting to buy.
The book also discusses the role of the insurer, the Environment Agency and Government.
It also examines the likely increase in flood threat from rising sea-levels and increased storminess.
Great for students as well as property owners, as well as professionals involved in flood risk analysis.
