Flood Warning Areas

This spatial Flood Warning Areas dataset are geographical areas where NRW expect flooding to occur and where NRW provide a Flood Warning Service. Flood Warning Areas generally contain properties that are expected to flood from rivers or the sea. Specifically, Flood Warning Areas define locations within the Flood Warning Service Limit that represent a discrete community at risk of flooding. A discrete community is a recognised and named geographical community, which can be an urban area, a significant suburb of a large city or a village or a hamlet. The purpose of Flood Warnings is to alert people that flooding is expected and they should take action to protect themselves and their property.
