Helping housing providers and councils protect the people they serve.
The challenge for public-sector teams
Rising flood risk, tighter budgets, and warnings that arrive too late.
Councils carry the statutory duty, not the EA.
Local authorities, not the Environment Agency, hold statutory responsibility for surface water flooding. When it hits, councils and housing providers protect their communities and cover the cost, with only limited-lead-time river and coastal warnings to go on.
Response is reactive, and flood isn't built into it.
Emergency response teams often react once flooding has already happened; without early warning and proactive plans, responses are delayed and inconsistent, while flood risk keeps rising as development grows.
Funding pressure forces hard choices.
Tight budgets make efficient deployment critical, but without accurate, real-time information it's hard to prioritise, leading to delays, over-allocation, or missed risks to residents.
Two technologies, one system
Alerts built around the people you're responsible for.
Property-level flood forecasting and live ground-truth monitoring work together to give your team real-time insight, so you can protect residents, tenants and public assets, not just estimate risk.
Precise, property-level alerts.
48-hour, property-level surface-water alerts across whole council or housing areas, delivered by email, text and dashboard, giving you a complete, real-time view of risk so you can prioritise the right locations and avoid unnecessary disruption.
Stronger insight for response and planning.
Richer flood data and live monitoring from managed radar sensors on drainage, culverts and watercourses give you better information for immediate response and long-term planning, helping you protect tenants and communities, and understand risk across housing, schools and public assets.
Early alerts for vulnerable communities.
Advance, property-level alerts give teams the lead time to safeguard properties, mobilise teams and support vulnerable residents, mitigating impact and delivering safer outcomes for the people who need it most.
See the technologyHow a national housing provider redefined its flood response with Zurich Municipal.
“Using Previsico's real-time flood intelligence, a national housing provider strengthened its ability to monitor risk, protect assets and respond quickly to potential flooding across its housing portfolio, in partnership with Zurich Municipal.”
Frequently asked questions
Free government flood warnings cover river and coastal flooding only, often with limited lead time. Most flooding is surface water, Previsico adds live, property-level surface-water alerts across your whole area so teams can act early.
Advance, property-level alerts give response teams up to 48 hours to safeguard properties, mobilise teams and support vulnerable residents, more lead time means better decisions and safer outcomes.
Yes. Real-time, property-level risk lets you prioritise the right locations and avoid over-allocating stretched resources, so effort goes where it's needed most.
Yes, you get full coverage across entire council or housing areas, with alerts down to individual properties for a complete, real-time view of risk.
Yes. Alerts arrive by email, text and dashboard with enough lead time to trigger proactive plans, so flood becomes part of your response rather than a reaction after the event.
