This dataset covers flooding from rivers and the sea only — one of five flood sources. Surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately, so a postcode missing from it is not proof that a place cannot flood. The band describes the land around properties (allowing for defences), not any single address and not today's conditions.

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Longford watch River Severn, Hatherley Brook, Horsbere Brook, Wotton Brook, River Twyver, Sud Brook.

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Wotton Brook nearest the middle of Longford's at-risk postcodes. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist.
