Approximately 1.9 million people across the UK currently living in areas at significant risk from either river, coastal or surface water flooding. This is according to a new report from AXA UK, which combines insurance claims data and public information to analyse the impact of climate risks, including flooding and extreme heat, on properties across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The report highlights that 2.8 million properties in England are already at risk of river and sea flooding, and 3.4 million are at risk of surface flooding. While most face a very low to low chance of flooding (68% and 73%, respectively), around 10% of properties are classified as high risk, meaning that there is a 65-79% likelihood of flooding in the next 30 years. These high-risk properties are the focus of cost estimates.<\/p>\n<p>The South East faces the highest financial toll, with costs projected to reach \u00a3187m by 2055, 66% higher than the South West, the second most costly region, at \u00a3113m. Households in the South East are estimated to face costs of \u00a361m, nearly double the residential costs in London (\u00a333.6m), the East of England (\u00a330.8m), and the South West (\u00a334.4m). At the other end of the spectrum, the North East faces the lowest costs at \u00a319m.<\/p>\n<p>London, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the East Midlands rank in the middle of English regions for financial impact. However, the Flood Index indicates that these areas are less resilient in recovering from flood damage compared to the South East, which has better resources and defences.<\/p>\n<p>The report draws on historical comparisons to emphasise the economic importance of flood defences. It highlights that the 2015\/16 winter floods cost the UK economy an estimated \u00a31.6bn, compared to \u00a3333m for the November 2019-March 2020 floods. The latter figure reflects savings of \u00a32.1bn, or 86% of potential costs, due to existing flood defences. Despite the existing flood defence measures, the report highlights a sense of unpreparedness among the public.<\/p>\n<p>In a survey of 2,003 UK adults conducted by Public First for AXA, 52% said they felt ill-equipped to deal with flooding, and 51% felt the same about extreme heat. Additionally, 84% of respondents said they would avoid buying a home in a flood-prone area. The survey also revealed gaps in awareness. Three-quarters of respondents were hesitant to install preventative measures against flood or heat damage\u2014half of them because they did not believe they would be affected. Moreover, one in four respondents did not know that extreme heat could cause property damage, highlighting the need for greater public education on climate risks.This growing vulnerability raises questions about how to meet the UK\u2019s housing targets while minimising climate change risks.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/report-flood-risks-set-to-cause-818m-of-building-costs-in-the-next-three-decades\/\">edie.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/report-flood-risks-set-to-cause-818m-of-building-costs-in-the-next-three-decades\/\">Report: Flood risks set to cause \u00a3818m of building costs in the next three decades<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[896,519,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-flood","tag-risk","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135713\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
