Depositit and National Flood Forum Provide Flood Risk Tool

Depositit (Aradon Ltd) has launched an offer with the National
Flood Forum to provide all homes and businesses throughout the UK
with a free online safe to store critical information that might
be needed during a flood.

Over 5 million people live or work in a flood risk areas and the annual costs
of flood damages in England and Wales are in the billions and increasing each
year. The emotional and sentimental effect on lives cannot be measured, yet
each year flooding continues and more lives are devastated.

What’s more is that flooding occurs in every season, not just winter time and
consequently being prepared is now a year round process for many who are still
often taken by surprise when the floods hit.

The Association of British Insurers recommend that in order to be prepared for
any flooding one of the things people should do is make sure that they have
emergency telephone contact numbers for insurers, local authority and utility
companies in a safe waterproof place.

Depositit, together with the National Flood Forum are offering home owners
and business with an online safe to ensure contact information is kept safe and
available when needed.

The Depositit ‘Business SAFE’ service provides businesses with a secure and
accessible online account which they can use from anywhere and
login from any device. All insurance, emergency contact and other details can
be found to help during a crisis.

Depositit’s consumer offering provides the same secure solution for personal
and home use.

National Flood Forum CEO, Paul Cobbing comments: "The trauma caused by flooding is well
documented, and frequently lasts years. Likewise the economic impacts can be
severe to both businesses and home owners, and being able to access key
information in the event of a crisis to help manage the situation is crucial.
We are pleased to be partnering with
Depositit and able to offer their Business SAFE and boxSOLID services free of
charge to UK companies and residents who are at risk of flooding. The services
are easy to use and ensure you have the details you need to hand when an
emergency occurs."

Anthony Ryb, director at Depositit, comments: "We’ve witnessed
terrible extremes in weather over the past few years
and wanted to help where we could. Our relationship with the National
Flood
Forum goes back many years with our background in supplying BC solutions
and the NFF being at the forefront of supporting UK companies and
home owners through flood crisis management. Flooding and related damage
is set
to continue each year, so whatever we can do by working together to help
lessen
the impact is helpful and linking up with like-minded organisations is a
critical show of solidarity in this area."
