520 _aOffers advice to home owners on preparing for fooding and making their property more flood resistant. Quotes research undertaken by the insurance industry which suggests that half a metre of floodwater in a modern semi-detached house will result in repairs costing an average of £15 000-£30 000 with the replacement of belongings costing a further £9 000. Advises that being prepared for flooding can reduce the cost of repairs and help to minimise the cleaning up operation.
