Business FloodSafe Toolkit

Flooding is a real threat to your business. This free online toolkit has been designed by the SES to assist businesses manage the potential impact of floods.

 

Your business is located in an area where floods are a natural occurrence. Over time floods have helped form the land on which your business may be built. This means that future flooding is inevitable and may be a high risk to your business.

The calculator on the right will give an estimate of the potential cost a flood may have on your business.

A customised Business FloodSafe Plan can be developed by using this toolkit.  This may assist you in reducing the impact flooding may have on your business.

The Business FloodSafe Plan you develop should form part of your Business Continuity Management Plan. Elements of an existing Business Continuity Management Plan may be used in the development of your Business FloodSafe Plan.

 

 

Contact your local Council if you want more information on how flooding may effect your property. The SES can provide you with FloodSafe information.

Alternatively you may wish to download the original Business FloodSafe Toolkit which is available for Riverine and Flash Floods.
