Use this information safely

  • For conditions now: use the live panel and verify on the official flood service.
  • For a property: use the official long-term risk checker; this directory is not address-level evidence.
  • For river levels: open a nearby monitoring station and check the reading time.
  • For immediate danger: follow emergency-service instructions and call 999.

Nearby river-level stations

These are measuring instruments, not reported flood locations. A station reading must be interpreted with its timestamp, station datum and any official threshold context.

Property and insurance decisions

Inclusion in an EA monitoring area does not by itself establish a property's flood probability, insurance eligibility or premium. Check the address-level official service and ask the insurer or a qualified surveyor about the property.
