DISTRICT REPORT SCOPE

Area evidence, not a full-postcode grade

The NG1 prefix covers multiple addresses and may cross council or warning-area boundaries. The 0–6 Data & Preparedness Score below counts documented sources for this district. It is separate from the conditional A–G disruption grade on a full-postcode report.

A–G grade for NG1: not assessed at district level. A complete postcode is needed to check live utility and road incidents and listed emergency-care distance. A grade appears only when all three inputs can be scored. How the full-postcode grade works.

Local flood evidence for NG1

Recorded flooding

Its Left Bank scheme history includes photographs of flooding at Midland Station and Bosworth Road in the Meadows. Those records give context for travel through central Nottingham and the river approaches.

Official warning area

The Environment Agency publishes a warning area for the River Trent at Nottingham including the Meadows. An NG1 address elsewhere in the city centre may be outside that area. Check the mapped extent and any notices for the transport links you rely on, especially if the journey passes through the river corridor.

Data & Preparedness Score 6/6

All three evidence checks meet the highest level for this report. The score describes the evidence available in this report. It does not measure risk, safety or personal readiness.

Warning coverage 2/2: A named official warning or alert area is documented locally. Check the mapped boundary for your address.
Official guidance 2/2: Local authority or regional preparedness guidance is linked below.
Data completeness 2/2: Council density is available. A local flood record is documented.

How the district score is calculated

Warning coverage earns 2 points for a documented local warning area, 1 for an official service link and 0 when no source can be identified. Guidance earns 2 for a local authority or regional preparedness link, 1 for UK guidance and 0 when neither is available.

Data completeness earns 2 points when council density and a documented local flood record are both available, 1 for either and 0 for neither. The three scores are added. The number or severity of current warnings does not change the score.

Emergency information for NG1

Find out how the building manager or venue sends urgent instructions. Include that channel in your plan and note who may need help receiving or acting on an update.

Nottingham City Council gives advice for before, during and after a flood. Keep its guidance with the contact for any station, venue or accommodation you will use. If the instructions refer to the Meadows or an approach to the Trent, check the affected location separately from your NG1 destination.

How the nine indicators apply

A district prefix covers many full postcodes. This page has no live A–G disruption grade and does not assess war or nuclear risk. Enter a complete postcode above to see the nine-indicator breakdown for its returned location.

Can contribute to a full-postcode grade: Infrastructure: matched electricity or water incidents where covered. Medical resources: straight-line distance to a listed emergency department. Road access: nearby active TfL events where covered. Missing feeds are excluded, not scored as zero.
Can be shown, without a risk score: Wind direction and speed, one-hour rainfall forecast, and elevation with sampled local relief. These do not establish exposure to a particular incident or protection at a building.
No verified postcode-level assessment: Military targeting, building structure and designated shelter availability. A postcode prefix cannot supply these details.
