November CPD event - Flood and wet perils restoration

Flooding is becoming increasingly common in the UK, with a growing number of concerns being raised from insurers about the current flood risk. The UK insurance regime for flood is currently in a period of flux and with more claims being raised insurers are increasingly looking at ways in which flood claims can be handled and mitigated. This event will tackle how the water damage caused by floods can be restored and will be of interest to underwriters, claims handlers and brokers.

This seminar is suitable for anyone who works in general insurance with a property element in their role.

Learning objectives
At the end of this event, the delegate will be able to identify:

• how flood re works
• insurer flood mapping
• some of the options available to insurance companies dealing with flood and wet perils claims.
