“The model is a fantastic tool that we’re using to help raise awareness of the benefits of having property flood resilience measures installed in your home.
It enables people to see for themselves the difference that the measures make, helping them to understand how they look and how they work in a domestic property.”
Your Mission
You want to engage your community in a way that’s memorable, meaningful, and easy to understand. Whether you're working with schools, flood action groups, or the wider public, you need tools that help you explain complex topics like PFR.
You seek to build awareness and trust through face-to-face engagement and you need tools that support this mission.
The Challenge
It can be difficult to engage with the community and to explain complex concepts like PFR. People may have incomplete knowledge or incorrect assumptions, fuelled by myths and misinformation.
It can be frustrating trying to initiate conversations and it can feel challenging to explain technical details.
Effective public engagement is essential for managing these challenges collaboratively, efficiently, and sustainably.
Our Solution: The PFR Model
We understand the importance of engaging with the community effectively in the face of public apathy.
The PFR Model (Standard Version) was developed in 2020 in conjunction with York City Council’s Yorkshire Flood Resilience project team.
EcoStyle models are trusted and widely used by organisations such as public bodies, water companies and local authorities. Our team is known for providing responsive and reliable support.
Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Measures
How it works
The model consists of two houses, each with a back garden. One home has property flood resilience (PFR) measures installed to help reduce the risk of flood damage, as well as making the drainage in the garden more sustainable. The residents in the second house haven’t taken any precautions at all, and like many homes in the UK, it is not resilient to flooding.
Water is poured onto both properties to simulate flooding. The house with property flood resilience measures installed resists flooding, and shows how to minimise the impact of floodwater entering the home. The second home floods badly, simulating the extensive damage often experienced through flooding.
