“Mary has advised our community on the impact of the changes to household insurance, and how best to manage the risk in the light of the new Flood Re Scheme. Mary has landscape knowledge of the whole Flood Plan arena and was deemed invaluable in her advice to our community. Unlike some experts in this arena Mary is a flood victim herself, and therefore knows exactly how to communicate these issues to a community. I would wholeheartedly endorse Mary and her work for any communities who need to deal with this issue.”
