In recent years, extreme rainfall, coastal storm surges, and overflowing rivers have caused repeated flooding across the UK and Ireland. At the same time, many existing flood defences were built for a different climate, and are increasingly being pushed beyond their limits.

For businesses, property owners, and local authorities, this raises a critical question:

How can you quickly protect people, property, and infrastructure when flooding occurs?

In this webinar, we explore how modern temporary flood barriers are becoming an essential part of flood preparedness strategies across Europe.

When permanent flood defences are overtopped or overwhelmed, rapidly deployable barrier systems can provide fast, flexible and reusable protection — without the manpower, logistics and waste associated with traditional sandbagging.

In this session we will cover: • Why flood risk is increasing across the UK and Ireland

• The limitations of traditional flood response methods such as sandbags

• How modern temporary flood barrier systems work in practice

• Real-world examples from flood events across Europe

• How the Haawal Flood Barrier helps protect communities, businesses and critical infrastructure This practical session is designed for:

• Local authorities and emergency planners

• Facilities and infrastructure managers

• Property owners in flood-risk areas

• Businesses responsible for operational continuity

Join us to learn how temporary flood protection can become a key part of your flood resilience strategy.
