One of the most common natural disasters. If a business is to minimise risk and reduce business interruption, advanced preparation is a priority

Floods and flash floods are among the most common types of natural disasters, so advance preparation is a priority for responsible business managers and owners if they are to minimise the risk of personal injury and damage to property, and reduce business interruption. But where do they start? How do they go about assessing their flood risk? What preparation can they make when there is a flood warning, and what safety precautions should they take when told to evacuate?

The third in the Liberty Disaster preparedness series is designed to answer these questions - and more - and help business owners prepare their premises and employees for a flood that may threaten the business and its operations.
