Flood risk
Moderate riskPetaling Jaya
Based on the closest river — its water level and flow, not your exact unit. Every reading below tracks the river flooding, not the building, and your ground may sit higher or lower than the river itself.
Moderate flood risk to this building
Nearest river shows high flood activity, but the building ground sits ≈3 m above it. River flooding could reach this building in an extreme event — the nearest river would need to rise about 1 floor.
Covers river flooding only — flash floods from heavy rain or blocked drains can still affect higher ground. Elevations are approximate (~90 m resolution).
