Flood damage costs the UK £1.4 billion every year. In some parts of the country this means that flood insurance is either impossible to find or too expensive. Most businesses that are impacted by flood do not survive.

Nearly 4.5 million people in more than 2 million homes are at risk of flooding in the UK, with 1.6 million at high risk. Some eight percent of the total land mass of the country - 10,000 square kilometres is affected by river flooding alone.
