What is meant by 50 a year flood?
A "50-year flood" refers to a flood event that has a 2% chance of occurring in any given year. This statistical measure is used in flood risk assessment and planning, indicating that while such an event might occur once every 50 years on average, it can happen more frequently or not at all in that time frame. It's important for understanding flood risks in specific areas, but it does not guarantee that a flood will happen once every 50 years.
