They are hosting an interactive event to share the findings from the project in the Holiday Inn Royal Victoria, Sheffield on Monday 23 May 2016, 3.00-6.00pm. They will outline findings that have emerged around SME flood preparedness and key areas such as networks, facilities, insurance and social media.
