As flood risk professionals, we use a range of data to understand and mitigate flood risk to protect assets and lives. The outcomes of this work go beyond analysing and interpreting data to feed into options, designs, and solutions to prevent flooding. The ripple effects impact people’s everyday lives and generate growth today and into the future.
In our latest webinar, Lee Pitcher, Director of Water and Environment for Europe at Jacobs, illustrated how in Hull and East Riding, through the Living with Water programme, stakeholders have been working together to manage flood risk by implementing nature-based solutions, educating and involving the local communities, and even opening a flood risk university course to remediate skill shortages in the industry.
