DISTRICT REPORT SCOPE

Area evidence, not a full-postcode grade

The TR7 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 TR7: 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 TR7

Recorded flooding

The Environment Agency’s East Cornwall Catchment Flood Management Plan records past tidal flooding at Newquay in its Gannel and Mawgan Vale section. It also describes surface water and drainage problems at locations in the wider catchment. This is evidence of past tidal flooding in Newquay. The plan does not give an incident date or establish that a particular TR7 property was affected.

Official warning area

The Environment Agency’s coastal warning area from Chapel Porth to The Rumps explicitly names Newquay and Porth. Its description excludes the tidal Camel Estuary. Use the coastal warning if the named area and map match the place you are checking. Street flooding from heavy rainfall or drainage problems can need a separate report to Cornwall Council, even when the coastal warning is quiet.

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 TR7

Keep the address of your accommodation and the location of planned activities separately. When instructions change, confirm which people and places are affected before asking your group to move.

Cornwall Council’s flooding page links to advice, reporting channels and current information for Cornwall. Keep it alongside the contact for your Newquay accommodation or venue. If an incident affects a coastal location, check whether the notice applies to your building or approach. Use the destination specified in the current instructions if responders ask you to leave.

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.
