DASA sponsors Flooding: The Emergency Response in York

York – November 2026 – On 10 November 2026, DASA sponsored and exhibited at Flooding: The Emergency Response at the Novotel York. The event was organised by the British Damage Management Association (BDMA) with the Insurance Institutes of York and Hull, and followed last year’s Flooding: The Road to Resilience.

The programme looked at the emergency response and immediate recovery once floodwater has entered a property, and how insurers, responders and the supply chain can work together in those first critical stages. Sessions included:

• Ian Gould, NFU Mutual – El Niño, flooding and the emergency response
• Vicky Deller, Hiscox UK – an insurer’s perspective on claims response during a weather surge

BDMA Executive Chair Adrian Jolly opened the day and asked whether the industry is suitably prepared for an event of this nature.

Chris Edwards and Tom Edwards represented DASA on the day, meeting delegates at the DASA stand. Our thanks go to the organisers, speakers and fellow sponsors for an informative event.
