Flood forecasting: How to achieve real-time accuracy and actionable results | InsTech

About the event 1 in 5 properties in the UK are at risk of surface water flooding, and with global flood losses projected to increase five-fold by 2050, it is critical to understand and manage your flood risk. While flood alerts are available in many regions, they often fail to cover key risks such as surface water flooding, smaller streams and rivers, drainage systems and other water bodies.

This gap leaves businesses and communities vulnerable to significant, yet preventable, impacts. The nature of flooding is complex. The way floods develop and escalate depends on a variety of factors, with rainfall forecasts changing constantly—even hourly shifts can alter rainfall patterns dramatically.

In this webinar, Matthew Grant will be joined by flood modelling specialists from Previsico, alongside their customers, to explore how real-time data can provide more accurate and actionable flood warnings, helping businesses to better manage their risks.

You’ll learn about the key data inputs that contribute to accurate early flood warnings, hear real-life examples from customers who’ve successfully utilised this data and gain insights into strategies for improving your flood risk management. We’ll discuss: The growing flood risk and the specific challenges faced by industries most vulnerable to flooding.

The complexities of surface water flooding, and the critical data needed to predict and respond to these events. Why it’s crucial for businesses to understand and act on their flood risk before it impacts operations. How actionable, accurate flood warnings can help prevent damage to infrastructure, stock, and operations—and reduce business disruption, health and safety risks, and financial losses.
