In response to the Environment Agency's latest Flood Map for Planning updates, we're excited to announce the launch of FLOODScreen Explorer - a free, user-friendly tool that puts professional flood risk assessment capabilities in your hands.
Quick, Simple, Flood Assessment
FLOODScreen Explorer transforms how you check flood risk for individual properties within Great Britain. Simply draw your site boundary, and instantly see if it intersects with:
- Fluvial, tidal and pluvial data for Great Britain – all on one map
- See Flood Zones 2 & 3 and surface water flood risk areas (3.3%, 1% and 0.1% annual probabilities) – slight variations between England, Scotland & Wales
- Interactive boundary drawing tools
- Quick risk zone identification within your site
“The development of FLOODScreen Explorer represents a significant step forward in making flood risk data more accessible and actionable.
We’ve designed this free tool to cut through the complexity of flood risk assessment, allowing users to get instant, visual results for their sites. By automatically incorporating the Environment Agency’s latest updates, including the new combined flood zones layer with climate change information, FLOODScreen Explorer helps property and asset management professionals make informed decisions quickly and confidently.”
– Ben Blowers, GIS and Associate Director at Lucion.
Traditional flood risk checking often involves downloading multiple maps and overlaying different data sets – a process that can take hours. FLOODScreen Explorer does this automatically, giving you instant results for your specific site.
FLOODScreen Explorer is perfect for:
- Initial site assessments
- Quick property checks
- Pre-acquisition screening
- Early planning considerations
For those managing larger portfolios or requiring detailed analysis, we offer a more sophisticated FLOODScreen service – designed specifically for comprehensive portfolio assessment and management.
