Prepare for flooding
Is your home at risk?
Flood Re
Flood Re is a joint Government and insurance industry initiative to enable you to find affordable insurance for qualifying properties that are at risk of flooding or have been flooded. Flood Re also helps you find out more about flood risks to your home and how you can help to reduce them.
Flood Re works in the background, helping the insurance industry offer more affordable insurance to everyone with eligible properties that may be at risk of flooding.
Contact your insurer or visit Flood Re to find out more.
