The Environment Agency’s flood maps cover England. In Scotland the Area map’s Flood Zones layer shows SEPA’s likelihood of flooding from rivers and the sea (darker: medium or high likelihood; lighter: low), drawn by FloodRadar from its copy of SEPA’s flood maps where it holds them. These are likelihoods, not flood zones, and an empty patch is not an absence of flood risk. Check SEPA for official Scottish flood warnings and information.
