The Communities at Risk Register 2024 - Present Day (CaRR) has been developed to provide an objective means of identifying risk and prioritising flood risk management activities at a Wales-wide, community level. It applies a standard methodology across all flood sources to calculate a theoretical ‘danger score’ that allows comparative risks to be quantified and ranked (from High to Low). CaRR 2024 – Present Day replaces CaRR 2019.

The CaRR comprises a spreadsheet that identifies and ranks individual communities for,

1. a natural, ‘undefended’ scenario, and

2. a managed scenario (based on the presence of defences and flood warning).

It is complemented by a GIS layer which defines the individual Community polygons and is attributed with danger scores, community rankings and other metric information.

A full display of the CaRR 2024 datasets can be found on NRW’s Wales Environmental information Portal.

More information on how the CaRR is used to plan and prioritise our flood risk management work can be found on our website
