Background
Property Level Protection (PLP) has developed rapidly in the last few years as one way of reducing the impact of flooding. The most important benefit of property level protection is its role in limiting the damage (physical and psychological) caused by flooding. It may also have a role in enabling people to access insurance more easily, possibly even reducing premiums and excess payments.
