2 In America, property flooding is the leading cause of natural disaster for the country. The need for flood forecasting has been heightened to a significant level of urgency. With the increase of heavy rainfall and rising sea levels linked to global warming, it is vitally important that the industry is efficiently prepared for flood events. Stephen Gill, Partner and CEO Flood Risk America Who We Are Flood Risk America ( FRA ) is a proactive Flood Risk Management Company specializing in thorough evaluation and reporting of flood risks throughout the United States and Canada. We focus on exposure, uninsured losses, and liability. Quality Assurance FRA adheres to a rigorous Quality Control Program to ensure that all data is current and accurate. Our certified flood map engineers guide clients directly from the data produced, while consistently developing cutting-edge solutions that meet the toughest flood risk challenges. With this pertinent information, there is control over risk, uncertainty is reduced, and the efficiency of the property portfolio is drastically improved. Quality assurance is extremely important to us and we make sure that every factor of our system and process is properly analyzed. Our Staff We are experienced flood-mapping professionals built from a team of local and national experts in the field of flood services. This collaboration allows us to partner in innovative and creative techniques of flood plain modeling and engineering designs.

3 BENEFITS No Flood Loss Lower DeductIble Loan Compliance Better Coverage Limits Lower Premiums Pre-Emergency Preparedness Planning Pre-Emergency Preparedness Planning is a full-service flood risk management program launched by Flood Risk America that offers flood prevention when the need for emergency preparedness is the most significant and immediate response is critical. It ensures that clients are prepared for an emergency BEFORE it happens, and that they recover fast from emergency situations. This program includes our signature 24/7 Flood Watch Program along with a wide range of Flood Prevention Products that can be deployed quickly in order to meet immediate flooding threats. PRE-DISASTER 24/7 Emergency Roof Protection Property Protection Plan Flood Mitigation Plan 24/7 Flood Watch Program 24/7 Emergency Flood Protection Deployment Building Utilities Protection Natural Disaster Grant Assistance 24/7 Flood Watch Program Our 24/7 Flood Watch Program shares access to poignant data from river, coastal, surface, and even groundwater flooding for both commercial and residential properties. We analyze causative factors; create recommendations for flood situations, while monitoring and mitigating flood exposure. These steps will reduce the possibility of uninsured flood loss. We partner with our clients to create a property portfolio containing addresses and development sites. Next, we match flood data and reports to determine values and risks, identifying properties that are priority. Lastly, the review is completed and the client is provided with information to properly prepare them for any potential flood emergencies. We understand the risks and important aspects of the service required. FRA is available for developments of any scale of property portfolio throughout the United States. Our mission involves partnering with our clients to provide quality flood protection solutions. Flood Defense We offer comprehensive flood preparedness and flood defense solutions to property owners. If your property is at risk of flooding, our flood loss prevention team is dispatched to the location immediately. Our flood barriers can be deployed and assembled within 24 hours. When assembled, these units are filled with the rising floodwater and can withstand the onslaught of flowing waters. The barriers are the perfect solution for flood protection. This is especially a significant concern for those who live or have businesses near rivers and other large bodies of water. Riverbanks, levees, and coastlines are being destroyed by erosion and the ever-present danger of flooding.

4 PROPERTY PORTFOLIO Flood Risk Assessment Our detailed Property Portfolio Flood Risk Assessment report provides a comprehensive analysis of flood risk for any property in the United States and Canada. These reports would represent a very detailed outline of flood risks for each building in your property portfolio. Our flood risk assessment is suitable for any residential or commercial properties. The assessment assists real estate owners, operators, investment managers, financial institutions, and insurers in defining the impact of the principle flood risks on their property exposures and flood events. It s critical to identify your flood risk before you suffer an uninsured flood loss. Flooding can reduce the purchase price and potential impact on the value of your property portfolio. We can help you take steps to lower flood exposures and protect your investments. Get empowered with the ability to identify your real flood risk.
