InsTech - insurance & innovation with Matthew Grant & Robin Merttens

Mark Fermor, Non-Executive Director: GeoSmart: Groundwater - the hidden predictor of future flood loss (294)


Listen Later

Groundwater flooding poses a great risk to properties in the UK but remains much less widely modelled than other types of flooding. 

This week, Matthew Grant caught up with Mark Fermor at GeoSmart, a company specializing in flood data analytics in the UK. They discuss GeoSmart's role in providing detailed flood risk assessments, leveraging their advanced modelling tools that cover all sources of flooding and how they are helping other organisations access and understand open-source data.

Key talking points:

  • Discovering the hidden cause of flood risk
  • What problems are GeoSmart helping insurers to solve
  • Different ways to experience a flood
  • The issue of groundwater beyond the UK
  • Open-source data - how GeoSmart can help
  • If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.
