Flood Risk Portfolio

The Portfolio Screening Report is designed to ensure that all potential flood risks at multiple sites have been considered so that appropriate resilience/mitigation measures can be recommended where potential impacts are identified and insurance obtained.

An experienced GeoSmart consultant will undertake a review of each Site to confirm the impacts of flood risk, and to ensure these are limited to operational areas.

The asset risk report provides a classification of the flood risk plus clear and pragmatic advice regarding the nature and potential significance of flood hazards which may be present.

The report is intended for Asset Managers and Risk Managers which can be used to assess the risk posed to properties and buildings.

Data from the Environment Agency (EA), Natural Resources Wales and SEPA is used alongside commercial datasets including GeoSmart’s own groundwater flood risk map in the analysis. We can include additional data sets to customise the analyses and report to suit

Updates are available to support annual portfolio managers risk assessment and business plan using the latest data, which is useful given the regular changes in the Environment Agency modelled flood outlines. Keeping our reports up to date, helps you keep you aware of changes in your land.

If the screening identifies assets at high risk of flooding and requires a more detailed assessment, our FloodSmart Plus and Pro reports provide complex flood risk analysis, detailing alternative options and designs.
