Abstract

Listing of Severe Flood Warnings, Flood Warnings, Update Flood Warnings and Flood Alerts issued since the Floodline Warnings Direct service went live on January 26th 2006 to the present. This dataset includes flood warnings issued by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) from 1 April 2013. Flood Alerts and Warnings are issued for flooding from rivers and the sea. For Flood Alerts this is generally river catchments or stretches of coastline. For Flood Warnings and Severe Flood Warnings this is specific communities or parts of communities.

Quality and validity

Lineage

There are three flood warning codes and a notification when warnings are removed. These are: - Severe Flood Warning: Severe flooding. Danger to life. - Flood Warning: Flooding is expected. Immediate action required - Update Flood Warning: an update to a Flood Warning (to cover change in latest situation and local conditions) - Same as flood warning - Flood Alert: Flooding is possible. Be prepared. - Warning no longer in force: Flood warnings and flood alerts that have been removed in the last 24 hours. Please note that from DATE the Flood Alert code replaced the older Flood Watch code. This historic dataset therefore contains Flood Watches rather than Flood Alerts prior to this date.
