Communities at Risk Register 2024 – Present Day (CaRR)
The Communities at Risk Register (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).
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.

The CaRR has been created using national-scale model data developed as part of the Flood Risk Assessment Wales (FRAW) project. The CaRR ranks communities based on a theoretical danger score which should be considered alongside other factors (such as history of flooding) when prioritising activities. The methodology incorporates the ‘Depth in Property’ approach to counting the number of properties at flood risk from different sources.
