Troisdorf Residents: Prepare for Autumn Rains with ABT's Flood Tools
Autumn's heavy rains pose challenges to homes in Troisdorf. To help residents prepare, the Troisdorf Sewage Department (ABT) offers a range of tools and advice. Key among these is the Heavy Rainfall Hazard Map, which pinpoints areas vulnerable to flooding when sewage systems reach capacity.
Property owners are urged to take responsibility for safeguarding their homes. ABT provides guidance on protective measures, even for those without a backwater valve. For a personalised assessment, residents can use the free online tool, Water Risk Check. This tool evaluates individual flood risk and offers tailored recommendations.
To plan ahead, citizens can utilise the Heavy Rainfall Hazard Map. It highlights zones where the sewage system may struggle to cope with excessive water, indicating where protective measures should be prioritised. ABT recommends installing and regularly checking a backwater valve as an emergency preparedness measure.
Troisdorf residents are encouraged to use ABT's resources to assess and mitigate their flood risk. By doing so, they can better protect their properties during autumn's heavy rains. While the next update date for the Heavy Rainfall Hazard Map is not specified, residents are advised to stay informed and prepared.
