As part of an Environment Agency project on property flood resilience information (PFR), CIWEM has put together a survey to help understand how information provision and training on PFR can be improved, which can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PFRtrain.

The 5-minute survey is initially open until Friday 17^th July, but may be extended. CIWEM is very keen to hear from all stakeholders and industry professionals who have an interest in, or perspective on, PFR.

PFR is one of many important tools available to help manage the risk of flooding such as that experienced in many parts of the UK over the past winter. Please help us understand how publicly available information about PFR could be improved, where there is a need for more or better training, or where these are good already.

Mary Dhonau (@floodmary) shares “powerful stories of #PFR significantly cutting down recovery time and also reducing insurance claims to zero!”
