The thing that binds us all together is we’re all in the same team trying to reduce the impact of flooding. Because the people on the front line, the insurance company, the insurance buyer, the broker, everyone wants the same thing, which is for unnecessary flood impacts to be prevented.
Introduction
How would your clients describe you?
This week on the podcast we have taken a slightly different approach and brought Previsico’s clients, Zurich Municipal and Donaldson Timber, to discuss how Previsico has helped them with flood risk management.
Previsico provides real-time flood forecasts, as part of its mission to reduce global flooding impact, by developing technologies that offer early warning systems for surface water flooding. Discover the importance of collaboration by hearing from Dr Avi Baruch and his work with Allison Whittington at Zurich Municipal and Mark Murphy at Donaldson Timber.
