Abstract

Flood hazard rating on the Shire River area, based on the application of a 2-dimensional model [http://www.atkinsglobal.com/environment]. The flood return period for this dataset is 10 years. The final rating is stored in the HAZARD2D field: values lower than 0.75 correspond to very low hazard - caution; values in the range 0.75 to 1.25 correspond to danger for some - includes children, the elderly and infirm; values in the range 1.25 to 2.0 correspond to danger for most - includes the general public; values higher than 2.0 correspond to danger for all - includes the emergency services. See document "Integrated Flood Risk Management Plan for the Shire Basin project - Interim Report" on the documents section of this platform.
