With climate change increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, flooding is becoming a more relevant and threatening issue. Our work with the Office of Public Works in Ireland has ensured its assets are prepared for flooding that may occur in the future through effective flood relief schemes. Our hydrographic surveys provide accurate underwater topography, accurate dimensional information on flow constructions, for example bridges and culverts, support flood defence strategies and map changes in water bodies.

An Overview of The Spain Flooding of October 2024

During the early stages of your project, it is vitally important that consideration is given to flood risk and understanding the Flood Risk Area. Our latest blog post by Doug Swinbanks explores: ✅ How SEPA’s flood maps are the first port of call. ✅ The impact of updated climate change allowances on flood risk predictions. ✅ The role of structure blockages in defining Flood Risk Areas.

Devastating Wayanad Floods: Extreme weather events, unplanned development & deforestation worsening the crisis. Early warning systems, climate-resilient infrastructure, and sustainable land management are crucial to mitigate the impact.

Is your home at risk for flood damage? This new tool from the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo is designed to support municipalities in better preparing for flood risks. https://lnkd.in/gb3jY8bf

G-Cans Project, or the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, is the largest underground floodwater diversion facility. These pillars protect the city from extreme flood damage.

The issue for typhoon-prone countries like the Philippines is that building flood hazard maps is costly and resource-intensive. The United Nations says this type of mapping is mostly carried out by developed countries. So citizen engagement could be more cost effective in poorer countries.

Latest Blog | Flood Resilience Taskforce Launched Our latest blog looks in more detail at the makeup of the taskforce, its plans to tackle the increasing risk of flooding in our communities, which Caroline Douglass, Executive Director for Flood and Coastal Risk Management at the Environment Agency, warned will only become more pressing as climate change brings more extreme weather, in addition to rising seas levels. Protecting people and communities must be the top priority she explained. Want to read more?

Climate change is not the only cause of flooding. Bad urban development, lack of natural mechanisms to absorb flood, and tunnel vision on flood control projects contribute to this problem. #baha #ClimateChange #marcos
