a new offer in support of the resilience of localities and enterprises exposed to the risk of flooding

AXA and SUEZ have entered a partnership to improve the resilience of towns, regions and companies faced with the risk of flooding. By combining their skills and know-how, the two groups are proposing solutions to local authorities and businesses to improve their resilience, which is a factor of both performance and appeal. In their global service offer, AXA and SUEZ are proposing:

- a diagnostic of vulnerability to all forms of flooding (rising watercourses, sea flooding, rising ground water, collapse of hydraulic installations and network overflows),

- solutions that reduce the vulnerability of sites and localities through business recovery plans, awareness-raising campaigns and the design and implementation of avoidance measures,

- anticipatory and support tools for crisis management (anticipatory and alert tools, material and human resources, etc.).
