Holistic Property‐Level Flood Protection
Traditionally there have been two separate approaches used to address property‐level flood protection, resistance and resilience. Both methods have associated uptake issues and so a holistic solution is proposed in this chapter, so as to adopt a series of collective measures. In the chapter a progressive, methodical approach to flood protection refers to individual flood depths and durations, in order to provide the homeowner with an explanation, so they may better understand how available systems may work for their particular home. Property‐level flood resistance, involving construction or adaptation of a building, must be installed as a complete package, as one small entry point will render a whole suite of measures ineffective. Property‐level flood resilience involves designing or adapting a building in such a way that when floodwater inundates it causes minimal or no permanent damage to a property and concomitantly facilitates easier cleaning and rapid drying.
