Synopsis
Global warming and rising sea level are well-documented and flood-related losses continue to mount across Asia. Efforts to combat climate change continue to gain pace, but will they be enough? While we muster the ambition to stop the rising tide, we can at least make sure that we’re ready.
This session forms a high-level dialogue between risk managers from public and private sectors with FM Global’s experts who will share their in-depth knowledge on flood mitigation practices as well as the insights gained working with clients to protect their facilities from the risks presented by flood across Asia.
The session will highlight several critical issues, including the severity of flood-related losses in Asia supported by real-life examples, and the importance of developing knowledge ahead of time given the unpredictable nature of flood occurrence. The session also aims to build further awareness among risk managers of the physical abatement and human interventions that are readily available.
