This review and Action Plan, focuses on practical, straightforward and cost-effective measures to reduce flood risk at the property level.

Working with the Partners and Supporters involved in BeFloodReady some responses to Frequently Asked Questions on Property Flood Resilience have been developed.

This report builds on national-level analysis undertaken in Phase 1 by applying a local lens to PFR potential, focusing on four diverse case study areas: Kensington & Chelsea (London), West Lothian (Scotland), Pontypridd (Wales), and Hull (Yorkshire).

This Phase 1 report aims to understand which home types are most suitable for PFR measures and the likely cost of PFR implementation. It also explores a range of potential uptake scenarios designed to identify the potential benefit from PFR at a national scale. Finally, the report considers the influence of insurance companies and lenders in PFR uptake.

The report calls for stronger planning rules, flood resilient infrastructure, and natural flood management
