They generally contain properties that are expected to flood from rivers or the sea and in some areas, from groundwater. 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. Flood Warnings are issued when flooding is expected to occur, Severe Flood Warnings are issued to similar areas when there is a danger to life or widespread disruption is expected. INFORMATION WARNING: Groundwater flood warning areas are properties based, usually containing a discrete urban area, suburb, city, village or hamlet and were created in various ways. In general technical specialists used the national groundwater dataset, historical maps, bedrock geology and records of properties affected by groundwater flooding in the past to create the groundwater flood warning areas. Additional data sources, including groundwater susceptibility maps, borehole data, local modelling and LiDAR may also have been used depending on the location of the area. The triggers for Flood Warnings for groundwater flooding are based on actual observed groundwater levels. There are currently no flood risk maps for groundwater so our flood warning areas for groundwater tend to cover properties which we know have been flooded by groundwater in the past.
