Hi, Flooding on 20 July 2007 was caused by surface water associated with a rainstorm calculated on a frequency of 1 in 169 years, i.e. an extremely rare occurrence. Much of the flooding followed the line of natural watercourses, that are mostly culverted under the town. Computer modelling to map surface water flood risk is currently being commissioned. This exercise will identify if parts of Thatcham are at significant risk of surface water flooding under different storm scenarios. For insurers, the risk considered ‘significant’ is a flood event occurring in 1 in 75 years or less. Properties that were not flooded on 20 July 2007 cannot be considered at significant risk of surface water flooding, on the basis they were not flooded during a 1 in 169 year event. It is also unlikely that many of the properties flooded in 2007 are at significant risk of flooding, using the insurance industry’s risk assessment (1 in 75 years). However, the degree of risk for individual properties cannot be quantified until the computer modelling exercise has been completed. For More Details Medical Device Marketing Campaign
