Average score flood in Flevoland, Netherlands
A rating from 0 to 10 of how often the area around a property floods, where higher numbers mean the surrounding area floods less often. It reflects the area, not the individual home.
A low score does not always mean this home will flood. It might sit on higher ground and stay dry, but a nearby flood plain can still affect it a great deal, because flooding damages surrounding roads, utilities, and services and drags on value and insurance across the whole area. Use a low score as a prompt to look into whether this particular home is genuinely at risk.
- 0-2: Very high flood exposure - The surrounding area floods readily
- 3-4: High flood exposure - The area sees significant flooding
- 5-6: Moderate flood safety - Some flood-prone conditions nearby
- 7-8: High flood safety - The area floods only rarely
- 9-10: Very high flood safety - The surrounding area is very unlikely to flood
In the Netherlands this is the yearly chance of a flood at the home from the national flood information system (LIWO), which counts every flood the national flood database models, from the sea, the rivers and the regional waters, and today's failure chances of the dikes. A chance of more than 1 in 30 a year scores as the 20 year floodplain does elsewhere, 1 in 30 to 1 in 300 as the 100 year one, 1 in 300 to 1 in 3,000 as the 500 year one, 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 30,000 scores 8, and a smaller chance scores 10, less one or two where the water would be over 0.5 m or 2 m deep. Because the dikes are counted, Dutch scores are not comparable with the countries scored without flood defences.
