Previsico Flood Alerts

Previsico is a flood forecasting company founded in 2019 as a Loughborough University spin-out. It provides live surface water and flash flood forecasts so insurers, utilities and large asset owners can act before water arrives instead of only estimating risk.

The platform delivers property-level alerts up to 48 hours ahead, showing likelihood, severity and timing per asset and refreshed hourly. Assets are ranked by severity on one timeline, and managed radar flood sensors and cameras verify real water levels on site. Customers listed on the site include Liberty Specialty Markets, Zurich Municipal, National Grid and Generali.

• 48-hour property-level alerts: forecast likelihood, severity and timing for each asset.
• Hourly refresh: forecasts update every hour as rainfall data changes.
• Ground-truth sensors: managed radar flood sensors and cameras verify live water levels.
• Portfolio ranking: assets from one site to a global book are ranked by severity on one timeline.
• Flood Intel Platform: web dashboard and API delivery of forecasts to customer systems.

Industrial park operators in Ho Chi Minh City can receive hourly alerts for each warehouse during heavy rain. Insurers and brokers in Vietnam can monitor flood exposure across insured factories. Utilities and logistics firms can plan inspections and rerouting around forecast flooding.

Gives asset owners up to 48 hours of notice to move stock, deploy barriers or adjust operations. Hourly refreshed, property-level alerts avoid blanket regional warnings. Ground sensors confirm whether alerts match real water levels. The same service scales from a single site to a global portfolio.

Surface water flooding is a growing source of insured loss, and buyers are shifting from static flood maps to live, impact-based forecasting. Southeast Asian cities with monsoon rainfall and dense drainage networks face the same demand for asset-level warnings, and the company lists a Hong Kong office.

Founded 2019 as a Loughborough University spin-out. Series A completed in October 2025, with around US$5M raised in total according to the company timeline. Offices in Hartford, London, Loughborough and Hong Kong; over 200 customers.
