Flood risk
Moderate riskPetaling Jaya
Two methods combined — river (fluvial) flooding from the closest river, and heavy-rain (pluvial) flash flooding from the surrounding terrain and rainfall. The badge above is the higher of the two, flagged as a known flood-prone area.
Inside a known flood district
This location sits inside Section 51A, Petaling Jaya, a district with documented recurring flooding, but this specific spot is on relatively higher, better-draining ground. Still worth checking drainage and past flood marks.
River (fluvial)

Heavy rain (pluvial)
Low
Low flood risk to this building
Nearest river shows moderate flood activity, but the building ground sits ≈9 m above it. River flooding reaching this building is very unlikely — the nearest river would have to rise about 3 floors first.
Covers river flooding only — flash floods from heavy rain or blocked drains can still affect higher ground. Elevations are approximate (~90 m resolution).
