This Section gives recommendations for the information which should be collected at the earliest opportunity to ensure the correct application of skills and the degree of urgency required. The first key element is the correct and consistent reporting of the scale of the problem. This Section provides a recommended template for a standard flood damage condition report. The report is not meant to replace current insurer reporting requirements but should exist as a stand-alone document. It provides a comprehensive summary of the findings of the professional at the time of first visit. 13 Flooding caused by extreme weather conditions and major infrastructure catastrophes will invariably have widespread effects and require harmonized efforts by central and local government, insurance companies, utilities, contractors and householders and landlords to return conditions to their previous state. -- BUILDING CONDITION REPORT IN RESPECT OF FLOOD DAMAGE DATE OF FLOODING EVENT General Name of building owner: Address: Weather conditions at time of inspection: Surveyor: Age of building: Type of construction: Is English Heritage notification required?
