Flooding is becoming an increasingly common, but many homeowners and businesses are unaware of the steps to make their properties more resilient against future floods.
The Ox-Cam Property Flood Resilient (PFR) Pathfinder Project has therefore had the Floodmobile custom-built to offer communities the support they need in learning more about the steps they can take in making their homes or business premises more resilient to future floods.
The interactive demonstration vehicle is packed with over 50 practical flood resilience measures that reduce the impact a flood can have, including keeping water out, to making recovery swift should water enter the building.
Mary Dhonau OBE, PFR Expert (Residential) for the Ox-Cam PFR Pathfinder Project said: "Having been flooded myself, I know that it is a truly appalling experience and sadly many people from across the region have also witnessed this first-hand this winter. We are here to help provide advice to those who are worried about future flooding on just what can be done at property-level to reduce the impact being flooded can bring and the Floodmobile provides a fantastic interactive experience."
"The Floodmobile has been designed to showcase as many different interventions that can be used as possible, in one place. There are door valves, non-return vales, flooring, wall coverings, recoverable kitchens and flood doors – including those suitable for listed buildings – and much more."
The Ox-Cam PFR Pathfinder Project team is planning to visit communities that have been directly affected by flooding, when it is safe to do so. This will enable communities to meet the team of PFR experts, to see the many PFR measures in the Floodmobile first-hand, and also watch many inspirational filmed video interviews with individuals who are already benefitting from PFR measures in their homes and business premises.
