Sewers in cities across the globe are struggling to cope with the rapidly changing climate.

Mitigating the fire risk from charging electric vehicles

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow for both private and commercial users. As such, there is an increasing need to provide additional infrastructure to enable convenient, rapid, and safe charging of EVs for staff and the public. Recent experience has demonstrated fires involving EVs can burn for an extended period of time and present significant challenges when attempting final extinguishment. Property protection principles should be considered in the design and location of EV charging points to help limit the effects of fire to property, business, and environment.

Commercial property: preparing for increased squatters risk

Colder winter months can increase the likelihood of properties being occupied by squatters. Although the practice has been illegal in residential properties since 2012, commercial properties remain exposed. Squatting can lead to significant financial consequences for landlords and property owners, including higher insurance costs, or an inability to secure cover. By taking steps to prevent squatters gaining access to properties, owners and landlords can keep their assets safe, and reassure insurers as to their exposure.
