CIC Welcomes Launch of FloodReady Report and Calls for Continued Collaboration on Property Flood Resilience

CIC has been actively engaged in the development of the report with CIC Chief Executive, Graham Watts OBE, serving on the leadership group of the Environment Agency and Defra’s Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Review. His contribution reflects CIC’s long-standing commitment to improving climate resilience and sustainable construction practices across the sector.

I am delighted to have contributed to this work on behalf of CIC, which highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration and the need to embed resilience into every stage of planning, design, and construction.”
