National Flood Forum Conference

This conference is about household flood insurance and funding across the UK.  The Statement of Principles, the agreement between the insurance industry and Government on funding and insurance, will expire in 2013.  The insurance industry has said that it will not continue with the agreement.  What should, or could be put in its place?  This debate will focus on some difficult realities.

• Understand the new partnership funding for schemes form a community perspective
• Understand the perspectives of the insurance industry, the Environment Agency and Government
• Promote networking between community groups and individuals, to share knowledge and experiences
