Recorded Flood Outlines

Recorded Flood Outlines contains the individual location outline and approved attributes for records of historic flooding. Please note that these records show flooding to the land and do not necessarily indicate that properties within the historic flood extents were flooded internally. It is also possible that the pattern of flooding in this area has changed and that this area would now flood under different circumstances. In addition absence of a historic flood event for an area does not mean that the area has never flooded only that we do not currently have records of flooding in this area.
