It’s not just homes that can be affected by flooding, flooding may also be a risk to your business!

Think of how much you could lose in stock, equipment and fittings due to a flood, along with the profits you could lose for the days and weeks it might take you to clean up after the flood.
Create a Business FloodSafe Plan
One of the simplest ways to manage the risk of flooding to your business is to create a Business FloodSafe Plan. Being FloodSafe is not expensive or time consuming, but it may help save lives and prevent injuries, and also help you reduce the financial damage that floods can cause.
The online Business FloodSafe Toolkit is an interactive template which is self-guided to assist in the development of your plan. You can customise the plan as much as you like, or you can simply use the suggestions provided in the template.
You will be asked to enter your email address, and to choose a password. Once you have entered these details you will be able to access your plan at any time, and your information will be securely stored so that your plan is still available even if your computer is damaged or lost.
Start creating a Business FloodSafe Plan now by visiting the State Emergency Service (SES) Victoria website SES Floodsafe.
