<p>The Environment Agency estimates 585 properties to be in areas at high risk of
flooding in Hull. The table below summarises the number of properties in areas at
high risk of flooding (as of January 2017) in each nomenclature of territorial units
for statistic region 1 or NUTS1 regions of England. High risk means there is a greater
than a 3.3% chance of flooding in any given year.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Location</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>NUTS1

the Scheme’s launch in April 2016, over 45 insurers are now offering Flood Re backed
policies, representing over 90% of the market. Between April and September 2016, the
Flood Re Scheme has provided backing to 53,000 policies. Flood Re Scheme has provided
backing to 53,000 policies across the UK. Flood Re expect the number of 350,000 UK
households.</p><p> </p><p>The distribution of properties backed by Flood Re is decided
by the choices of individual insurers, who decide whether a property should be supported
by the Scheme, based on the insurers’ assessment of a property’s flood risk. Flood
Re expect to provide more detail on the policies backed by the Scheme this summer.</p>
