The environmental effects of floodings
Flooding is a natural disaster that can have catastrophic consequences for communities. Not only does it cause significant damage to homes and infrastructure, but it can also have far-reaching effects on the environment and the health of the people who live in affected areas.

By understanding the financial effects of flooding and taking steps to protect ourselves, we can help to minimize the financial impact of this natural disaster on our lives and our communities.

History of Wapro
