Over the last few decades, flood hazard maps have established a prominent role as essential tools in supporting effective flood risk management. They have developed as a result of improved national datasets and advances in computer processing. Improvements in modelling confidence and in the spatial ...

Processing of historical datasets in flood maps is described in detail in the methodology. Managing floods has a long tradition in the UK [20]. Local planning authorities in the UK have a responsibility to carry out a strategic flood risk assessment for their territories. Strategic flood risk ...
Comparison of exposure and flood losses trend was carried out using two Environment Agency (EA) maps. ‘Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea’, April 2017 version, contains highly detailed flood hazard zones at several probabilities of occurrence54. ‘Recorded Flood Outlines’, May 2017 version,...
