Shelter from the storm - 2007 - Regeneration and Renewal 10 August 2007, 20-23(3) .
Examines ways in which built environment professionals can reduce flood damage. At local level this involves stopping development on flood plains and designing buildings and neighbourhoods to withstand the effects of flooding. Flood mitigation measures include running electric cables within upper walls, building homes so their lower floors begin higher up, not choosing wooden or chipboard floors, green roofs, and preventing the transformation of gardens to paved areas. Provides the approximate cost of flood damage to a typical semi-detached house, by water depth.
