RICS Flooding Conference 2012

15 March 2012
RICS, Parliament Square, London SW1P 3AD

Flooding and property value: A practical guide to understanding risk, loss and professional standards

The Environment Agency (EA) estimates that more than five million people in England and Wales are living and working in properties that are at risk from flooding, while the Association of British Insurers (ABI) believes that 400,000 homes are at serious risk, based on EA figures, a situation which RICS recognises poses a significant threat to Property value.

RICS Flooding Conference offers a timely programme revealing the escalating challenges presented by flooding. Phil Rothwell from the Environment Agency (EA) and Matt Cullen from the Association of British Insurers (ABI) open the conference. The EA will outline current policy and the latest Government initiatives on flooding, flood risk and flood defences, while the ABI will outline the broader issues surrounding the forthcoming expiration of the Statement of Principles in June 2013.

With a special cross-sector focus on flood risk, flood reporting, valuation, insurance, lending, planning, resistance and resilience measures and the built environment, this is an event you can’t afford to miss. You will gain in-depth knowledge of the implications of the Statement of Principles for both residential and commercial property, understand the risks and discuss how to best protect value with focus on hard and soft flood defences at a national, local and individual property level.

CILA MEMBERS CAN ATTEND THIS CONFERENCE AT THE RICS MEMBER RATE.
