Comprehensive flood map online

Editorial Type: News     Date: 07-2015    Views: 2531      





Following an agreement between aerial mapping company Bluesky and hazard mapping specialists JBA Risk Management, visitors to the Bluesky’s online Mapshop can now view and download a high resolution flood map for the whole of the UK

Detailing peril from six different types of flooding, the Comprehensive Flood Map (CFM) is a leading tool for flood insurance underwriters and is used by over 70 percent of the UK insurance industry. Bluesky will also be able to supply the data for offline sales to their client base, including Local Authority planners, property developers, emergency responders and environmental consultants.

"The winter of 2013-14 was the wettest winter on record, and it is estimated that insurers paid out over £446 million in claims to customers whose homes, businesses and vehicles were flooded - the equivalent of £6.7 million per day," commented Bluesky's Managing Director Rachel Tidmarsh.

The CFM is a highly detailed flood map. At 5 metre resolution it covers six flood perils - river, coastal (including wave overtopping), surface water, groundwater, canal failure and dam break, in Great Britain.
