If you’re an insurer or broker then chances are you’ve dealt with some difficult flood-related claims in recent years as our weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable. The devastation that has been left behind in some areas, such as Carlisle and parts of North West England, among others, has often taken a year or more to recover from – just in time for another downpour.
While we can’t stop the rain from falling, of course, we can at least do something to lessen the impact of flooding – and prevention is certainly better than a cure.
That’s why
Insurance Business has teamed up with Aviva to publish the insurer’s
Commercial Flood Guide 2016. The guide is available to
download for free now on our website and sets out some of the steps businesses can take to reduce any potential flood damage including what to put in an emergency flood plan and provides some tips on what to do to protect staff, property and stock if floods are imminent.
“We all know how devastating flooding can be – not just the damage and emotional distress for the business owner but also the impact on their ability to trade,” said Angus Eaton, managing director of commercial lines at Aviva.
“Our claims teams will be doing all they can to get any of our affected business customers back to normal trading as quickly as possible but there are steps businesses can take before a flood arrives to help make their premises more resistant to floodwater.”
So if you want to ensure your clients are well prepared just download this
free commercial flood guide now and make sure they’re covered before the rain falls.
