-
Minor Flood Extent
These maps show minor flood inundation extents and represent an event which occurs relatively frequently, perhaps once every other year.
-
Moderate Flood Extent
These maps show moderate flood inundation extents and represent a flood event which is less common (or uncommon) but over a long period of time may occur on average once a decade.
-
Major Flood Extent
These maps show major flood inundation extents and represent a large and relatively uncommon flood event which may occur (at least) once in an average life time. It is possible although less likely for a flood event of this size to occur more than once in a single lifetime.
-
Extreme Flood Extent
These maps show extreme inundation extents. These extents represent very large and very unlikely (rare) flood events. These are exceptional events that relatively few people will ever witness. Whilst very unlikely, it is possible for these events to occur.
-
Storm Tide Flood Maps
Storm Tides flood maps represent pre-defined levels of inundation from increased ocean water levels.
