What does it mean if your home is high-risk?

If your home is in a high-risk area, then it’s possible that you could be affected by a natural flood from a river, storm, or sea. This could mean that any home insurance policy you are considering will charge you more for covering a flood incident.

However, if you are at risk, there is a joint initiative backed by the government and insurance to make household flooding policies more affordable. You will not be less likely to get a mortgage if your home is at risk of flooding if you can get insurance for your home that covers flooding.

How to prepare for a flood

If you live in a high-risk area, you should always have a plan to avoid delay when a severe warning comes through. During an unpredictable flash flood, you will have limited time to act and having everything ready will ensure your safety so that you may evacuate if needed.

• Use the British Red Cross Emergency App to set alerts for your local area or turn on Emergency Alerts from the UK government
• Create an evacuation plan for yourself, your family, and your pets
• Make a list of medications and other essentials you may need
• Prepare an emergency kit that contains a mobile phone charger, first aid, medication, drinking water, food, emergency numbers, warm and waterproof clothing
• Ensure your insurance policy covers flood damage or see if you are eligible for flood insurance support
• Make a note of vulnerable or elderly neighbours to alert them when an alert comes through
• Take first aid classes

What area of your property is vulnerable to a flood?

Some areas of your home are more susceptible to flood water than others due to various reasons. This could be due to the level of the room or the lack of protection from rising waters.

If you own a basement, this area is the most likely to flood when there is flooding in the area. Because the basement is on a lower level or at the same height as groundwater, it can flood quickly. A cellar with windows or poor infrastructure can rapidly fill with water. This is preventable if your basement has a cavity drainage system.

Garages are also vulnerable to flooding. Unlike a home where the property has sealed doors and windows, a garage door has gaps that rain or floodwater can seep into. The best way to prevent your garage from flooding is to install drains around the area, place a flood barrier on the door, and keep the gutters clean.
