Flooding can result in significant damage to your property that can be costly to fix afterwards. To prevent this cost, as well as the threat of injury and loss of life, it is important to think about flood protection well in advance.
There are a number of ways to improve property resilience against floods, including lifting the building above the floodwaters, buildings with concrete or brick, and building physical barriers to protect communities and properties – such as floodgates, levees and seawalls.

“Things like levees and seawalls are hard engineering structures that prevent flooding,” explained Dr Tayanah O’Donnell, partner in Deloitte’s risk advisory, climate and sustainability team. They are “often thought of as useful adaptation measures when it comes to flood preparedness”.
Physical flood barriers are a very important way to mitigate flood risk, and one that many local governments are crying out for. But while they may seem like a no-brainer to providing a high level of protection against floodwaters, they have both advantages and disadvantages.
There are several types of flood barriers depending on the area that is at risk, and the level of protection sought.
