Visiting communities at risk of flooding – or those dealing with its devastating aftermath – is essential for raising awareness and inspiring those visiting into installing Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures. Having done this for many years, I’ve found the most effective way to explain PFR is by showing the products first-hand.
The brand new FloodMobile achieves this by bringing PFR to life, offering people the chance to see, touch, and understand practical measures that better protect homes and businesses.
Making PFR tangible and accessible, the FloodMobile demonstrates just what these solutions can do to mitigate the appalling impacts of flooding and help to build greater resilience within vulnerable communities.
This new chapter builds on the legacy of the original Floodmobile, which I helped to create in 2021 as part of the Defra-funded Ox-Cam Pathfinder project. Designed as a ‘flood house on wheels,’ the Floodmobile was developed to raise awareness of PFR solutions among communities most at risk of flooding.
I’ve travelled up and down the country with the Floodmobile, visiting many communities. What was apparent to me is that it became more than just an educational tool, but a source of comfort and guidance for flood victims.
It was a place where people could learn, seek advice, and share their heartfelt experiences.
Although the original Floodmobile reached the end of its serviceable life, it proved the success of the concept. I am therefore proud to see this vision continue with the new FloodMobile, managed by DWT Exhibitions.
The new FloodMobile offers access to practical PFR measures, and continues to help us educate ‘at risk’ communities on the benefits of flood resilience and recoverability.
