This years flood looks to be worse than most years, but still looks to be less than in 2011. Many homes, and some lives have already been lost, despite the country knowing that floods happen every year around this time.

We advised companies after 2011 that a good Business Continuity Plan is required at all times. Unfortunately many companies are relying on the government’s plans, and those of the industrial estates. Most of the major industrial estates have established some form of d***s to hold any flood water away from the factory assets.

The problem is that these d***s are untested, so many factory owners will not be able to rely this protection only. Hopefully these d***s will work as planned, but this would also mean that the industrial estates will be inaccessible for an unknown period. This means that factories will still need to be shut down in a controlled manner, and assets moved to higher areas in case the d***s are breached. This also means plans are needed for the shutdown period which may include temporary stand down of staff, or finding and establishing alternate operating and manufacturing options. Once any floods have passed, then these temporary operations need to be shut down again, and the factories restarted.

All of these activities all need planning.
