Alternative Title

Dataset Language

Abstract

This layer shows locations where flooding has been confirmed. Following significant rainfall events (with reports made regarding flooding), flood questionnaire surveys are used to confirm the extent.
These, along with data from a variety of sources, are combined and transposed into GIS for the FIR.

HCC became a Lead Local Flood Authority in 2010, since then it has developed and maintained this Flood Incident Record. We hold limited details about flooding incidents prior to 2010. If an area is not coverered by the FIR map it does not mean that the area has ne er flooded, only that we do not currently have records of flooding in this area. Data is not displayed to identify individual properties.
