Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many properties which have property level resilience measures installed have been flooded.

The information requested is not held centrally and to obtain it would incur disproportionate costs.

Property Flood Resilience (PFR) covers a range of measures designed to reduce damage caused by flooding. This includes measures to keep water out, such as flood doors and barriers, and also internal changes to lessen the impact of flooding, such as hard floors and raising electrics.

A property with PFR measures may flood but suffer minimal damage because of the internal changes made. The property owner would not necessarily report this to the Environment Agency, their local authority or their insurer. Therefore, the data to answer this question is not available.
