Protect your property
Look at the best ways of stopping floodwater entering your property.
It might be possible to use Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures to reduce the risk of flooding to your property, enabling you to reduce the damage caused by floods and to speed up recovery and re-occupation.
PFR is made up of two elements:
- Resistance – keeping the water out of the building
- Resilience – internal adaptations, allowing the clean-up and repair process to occur quickly
BeFloodReady provide useful guidance about the types of PFR measures available. Guidance is also available from:

Insurance
Check that your insurance covers you for flooding.
Further guidance is available from Flood Re and the National Flood Forum.
