Flood Readiness
How ready is your business for a flood?
This is a business operational readiness assessment — not an engineering or insurance audit. It measures how well your business could protect property, staff, equipment and revenue during a flood event. Answer as honestly as you can; "Not sure" is a valid answer.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Flood Readiness Assessment cover?+
It covers seven practical areas: property and location risk, drainage and water protection, critical equipment protection, business continuity, staff preparedness, emergency response and recovery planning. It's a business operational readiness assessment written for owners and managers — not an engineering or insurance audit.
Who is this assessment for?+
Small businesses with a physical workplace where a flood would interrupt trading or damage stock and equipment — cafés, restaurants, shops, workshops, warehouses, clinics, small manufacturers and professional services with premises at ground level or near water.
What do I receive at the end?+
A Business Readiness Score, executive summary, prioritised actions, a 7-day improvement plan, manager decision guide, flood response procedures, customer communication templates, an emergency response checklist and recovery planning recommendations — all inside your Business Readiness Workspace with a printable executive report.
How long does the questionnaire take?+
About 5 to 8 minutes. You only enter your business details once — every WorkplaceReady module reuses the same Business Profile.
Is this legal or insurance advice?+
No. This is a practical readiness planning service designed to help owners and managers reduce operational flood risk. It is not legal, insurance, engineering or emergency-response advice.
Is it included with WorkplaceReady Annual?+
Yes. Flood Readiness is included in WorkplaceReady Annual, alongside every other current readiness module — one subscription unlocks the full catalogue.
