Traditionally constructed buildings are often more vulnerable to surface water flooding, yet there is still limited understanding of how resilient these buildings are and how they respond before, during, and after flood events. Improving flood resilience is important to reduce damage, support recovery, and protect heritage in a changing climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim of this study is to gain professional insight into the surface water flood resilience of traditionally constructed buildings in England. It seeks to identify the key factors that influence how these buildings cope with flooding and recover afterwards. The findings will help support clearer, evidence-based guidance and future research to assist those responsible for managing, repairing, and adapting historic buildings at risk of flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are looking for volunteers, to take part in a research questionnaire and\/or interview about surface water flood resilience of traditionally constructed buildings in England. Participants should have professional experience related to flooding, flood risk management and the built environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research has been commissioned by Historic England and is being undertaken by Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help shape future guidance for flood resilience in historic buildings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To read about who can take part in this study, and what is required of you in order to take part in the interviews go to the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ljmu.ac.uk\/research\/research-participation\/the-resilience-of-traditionally-constructed-buildings-to-flooding\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See more on the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/IHBC%E2%80%99s%2520Competences\">IHBC\u2019s Competences<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image for illustration Do you have professional or academic experience in flooding, flood risk management, and the built environment?
