Flood planning

flood_environment agency.jpg"Floods are one of the most common and widespread of all disasters and are growing in frequency and severity due to the impact of global warming. Businesses are more likely to be flooded than burned down, resulting in devastating financial loss, yet fire safety is often considered more important. By taking action to prepare in advance for flooding, most businesses can save 20-90% on the cost of lost stock and moveable equipment, as well as a lot of trouble and stress". - The Environment Agency
