Our solution for housing associations: The Previsico Flood Intel Platform
A first-of-its-kind combination of technologies to forecast the types of floods that catch property managers and residents off guard.
Benefits for housing associations
- 48-hour advanced warnings about flood risk to individual properties. Covers surface water and ordinary watercourses – perils that can catch people out and are not covered by other forecasting systems.
- Timely and detailed information to mobilise teams and take preventative measures to protect buildings, such as setting up pumps and defences.
- Prioritise health and safety with early warnings to move vulnerable tenants away from danger and prevent exposure to contaminated water or mould growth.
- Minimise financial losses associated with repairs, replacements, and rehousing residents.
- Gain deeper understanding of insurance needs and the likelihood of flood impacts to ensure adequate cover is in place. Some insurance policies offer discounts for properties that are equipped with early warning systems and other flood mitigation measures.
- Promote ESG through proactive measures to identify risk and prevent environmental damage and disruption.
