How would your clients describe you? 

This week on the podcast we have taken a slightly different approach and brought Previsico’s clients, Zurich Muncipal 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.

Key talking points:

  • The start of Previsico: a PhD research project 
  • Client Insights: Zurich Municipal's approach to flood resilience
  • Exploring the impact of floods and the importance of early warning systems
  • The role of insurance in flood risk management and resilience building
  • Operational challenges and solutions in flood risk management
  • Exploring the complexities of Sustainability and ESG Commitments
  • The role of insurance in supporting sustainability
  • Client Insights: Donaldson Timber's proactive flood risk management
