National Flood Risk Maps
National Flood Risk Maps
The National Flood Risk Maps are based on generalised modelling created as part of Flood Risk Assessment Wales (FRAW) and published as part of Cycle 2 of the Flood Risk Regulations (2009).
The National Flood Risk Maps have been created for 3 sources of flooding, namely,
- Flooding from Rivers
- Flooding from the Sea
- Flooding from Surface Water & Small Watercourse
The maps show Risk to a range of receptors, grouped in categories of People, Economic and Environment. Risk information is aggregated and displayed at a community scale.
For Rivers and Surface Water & Small Watercourses, High risk is up to 1 in 30year; Medium risk is between 1 in 30 and 1 in 100year; and Low risk is between 1 in 100year and 1 in 1,000year Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP).
For the Sea, High risk is up to 1 in 30 year; Medium risk is between 1 in 30 to 1 in 200 year; and Low risk 1 in 200 year to 1 in 1000 year.
