FMA Fact Sheets
Access practical FMA fact sheets and templates designed to help Members communicate flood risk information clearly with communities, Councillors, Council officers and other stakeholders.
Overland Flow Fact Sheet
This resource was developed following requests from FMA Members for a fact sheet to accompany Overland Flow Flood Studies going on public exhibition and to support communication with Councillors, Council officers, ratepayers and the wider community.
The two-page plain-English explainer outlines what overland flow is, the types of impacts it can have, and addresses common questions relating to property values and insurance premiums.
FMA & ICA Flood Insurance Fact Sheets
Floodplain Management Australia and the Insurance Council of Australia developed three Flood Insurance Fact Sheets for FMA Members, covering flood insurance pricing, insurer flood data requirements and the sharing of flood risk information.
The ICA is in the process of updating these Fact Sheets.
Flood Insurance Template Fact Sheets
Former FMA Communications Director Brooke O’Rourke and Technical Director Danny Rose developed a template flood insurance fact sheet for Member Councils to use for community education purposes.
The template was based on a resource developed by Lake Macquarie City Council in conjunction with the Insurance Council of Australia and is designed to help communities better understand the respective roles of Councils and insurers in the assessment and pricing of flood insurance.
The fact sheet template can be tailored to suit local requirements and is available in separate coastal and inland versions.
