Major Incident in York

Large-scale residential incidents affecting multiple properties or households require coordinated accommodation and relocation support across multiple locations.

York is well known for flood risk, with the Rivers Ouse and Foss causing regular flooding events. The city's historic properties and modern residential areas each require different approaches to temporary accommodation.

Temporary Accommodation After Major Incident

Major incidents such as large fires, infrastructure failures or natural disasters can displace dozens or hundreds of households simultaneously. These situations demand rapid, coordinated accommodation sourcing and ongoing case management. Insurers and catastrophe response teams need a reliable accommodation partner who can mobilise quickly at scale.

Key Challenges

Major incidents create immediate, high-volume demand for accommodation in a localised area. Coordination between multiple insurers, adjusters and response teams adds complexity. Vulnerable residents may need specialist support alongside accommodation.

Typical displacement period: Variable — weeks to months depending on incident scale

The Typical Process

Major incident occurs affecting multiple properties

Emergency services respond and residents are evacuated

Scale of displacement is assessed and communicated to insurers

Accommodation partner mobilises to source multiple placements
