About the flood simulations

The outputs from the Level 2 – Town flood investigations have been translated into flood simulations. These are provided to give an indication of potential flooding based on predictive flood heights at the local river gauge. Simulations identify potential areas of impact as a result of a potential flood event. It should be noted that simulations are conceptual floods based on flood investigations. Each flood event is likely to be different. Therefore these simulations should not be relied upon. If there is a flood warning for a town or a river system, members of the community should also listen to and act upon any direction given by local authorities.

In addition to the flood simulations, flood reports can be viewed by clicking the button below, then clicking on the map to see a report for that location.
