Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment Map for the Humber River Basin District

An interactive map and supporting guidance inform flood risk understanding across the Humber River Basin District. The dataset, produced by the Environment Agency, shows the district, component river basins, coastline, land use, and topography layers. It supports the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment for England report to meet the Flood Risk Regulations (2009).

Use Cases

• Identify high-risk flood zones based on land use and topographic layers mentioned in the description
• Support regional flood risk assessments for regulatory compliance based on the described purpose
• Analyze the relationship between river basin geography and potential flood impact based on the map's layers

Strengths

• Contains multiple geospatial layers including land use and topography.
• Supports a formal national flood risk assessment report required by the Flood Risk Regulations (2009).
• Integrates data from multiple authoritative sources including the Environment Agency, Ordnance Survey, and Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update is listed as 2026-07-06.
