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> 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\u2019 assessment of a property\u2019s flood risk. Flood Re expect to provide more detail on the policies backed by the Scheme this summer.<\/p>"}
