This infographic details the severe flooding that has occurred in the UK and the subsequent consequences to everything that gets in its way. The devastating environmental event can destroy everything that lies in its wake, with 5 million properties across the UK at risk, or one in six.
Despite the cost of floods and managing flood risk costing the UK around 2.2 billion pounds a year, less than 1 billion is actually spent on flood protection and management.
It is very important that all those at risk consider the possible consequences to their home and loved ones, and take the necessary precautions to protect themselves.
