Flooding causes an average of £1.4bn in damage a year in the UK, with one in six properties classified as ‘at risk’ currently. Over recent years areas such as Somerset, Cumbria and Yorkshire have been particularly besieged by extreme flooding, devastating homes, livelihoods and businesses and bringing misery to the lives of thousands. Entire communities, overwhelmed by record rainfall and river levels, have been left without power and have had to endure a protracted process of recovery in the knowledge that there is a non-negligible chance of such ruination reoccurring in the near future.
