PIB Client Academy – Mitigating Flood Risk – Leeds -19/09/2024
4,8581 flood alerts and warnings were reported in the first 4 months of 2024.
These are figures recently published by the Environment Agency.
Flooding can have a devastating impact on businesses of all shapes and sizes and statistics show that 1 in 6 properties in the UK are at risk of flooding, surface water being the biggest risk with 2.8 million properties at risk.
We invite you to join us at our free to attend PIB Client Academy ‘Mitigating Flood Risk’ workshop at Thorpe Park Hotel in Leeds on Thursday 19th September.
Our Head of Risk Engineering, David Plowman will discuss a risk assessment-based approach to flood risk engineering, help you to understand the risks presented, what the impact might be and how you might mitigate against some of these potential losses.
In the first part of the session, David will cover the current position around flood in the United Kingdom; assessing the levels of risk and the impact which this might have on a business.
The second part of the session will help you to consider the mitigating measures which you may wish to apply to reduce either the likelihood or severity of a loss as a result of flooding.
Who is this aimed at?
If you are a business owner, in senior/operational management or facilities management and would like to understand in more detail a risk engineering approach to flood management, the current status of the flood insurance market and a systematic approach to mitigating measures we encourage you to attend.
