FloodScore AAL Risk Rating Layers use the advanced flood modelling techniques developed for UKFloodMap4 ™. They incorporate the most current hydrology data from the Centre of Ecology & Hydrology, building stock data from Ordnance Survey, and the latest high-resolution LiDAR from the Environment Agency.

The AAL Risk Rating Layers are delivered as four layers: a layer for each of the three primary flood sources (tidal, surface, pluvial and fluvial) and a fourth layer which combines them. This makes it simple to consider specific flood sources in isolation, or get an aggregate view.

These layers show inundation extents, classified flood risk scores and average annual losses (AALs) at every location within the UK. They’re available as defended or undefended data layers. The risk scores and AALs are calculated from mean damage ratios and complex algorithms to provide a consistent flood score risk index.

We usually deliver the data in GIS raster format (typically compressed .tif or .img format), and it can be easily integrated into geospatial systems such as ESRI, LexisNexis and SpatialKey. We can also provide classified vector polygon and tabular look-up table versions. We can provide the data in British National Grid projection but also in other projections (eg WGS 1984). It can be used alongside council tax databases for enhanced portfolio and single-site analysis.
