Two-thirds of UK households fail to check flood risk levels

A recent survey by Know Your Flood Risk, the campaign to raise awareness of the risk of flooding in the UK, indicates that two-thirds of UK households fail to check flood risk levels, identifying a lack of awareness over flood planning and responsibility, despite 1 in 6 homes being considered at risk, reports Floodlist.

 The YouGov survey, which was commissioned by the Know Your Flood Risk Campaign, reports that homeowners in England’s North East were the least likely to have carried out any checks, with 88% confirming they had never researched their flood risk. Homeowners in the South East fared the best, although 55% of those surveyed still hadn’t checked their flood risk.
