Free & open

Free, with no login: open the map and check whether your address sits inside the 100-year (1% annual chance) floodplain. That answer is free and always will be.

The ₹499 Property Flood Report goes further — a detailed flood-risk report for your specific property, headed by the NEER Flood Score: a single 0–100 rating for that exact plot, the modeled flood depth behind it, a satellite flood map, and the method behind every figure. Dated and ready to attach to a loan file, an insurance discussion or a price negotiation.

The problem

Flood risk is almost never disclosed in an Indian property transaction. There is no mandatory disclosure, and the people who know most about a plot’s history are the ones with the least reason to mention it.

A buyer’s usual check is to ask the neighbours or visit in the dry season. Neither tells you what happens in the flood that arrives once in a hundred years — which is the one that matters for a thirty-year loan.

And the datasets that could answer it have historically been sold to insurers, not shown to the people whose money is at stake.

In practice

5 ways this gets used

Each one is a real workflow — who does it, the situation, the steps, and what comes back.

  1. 01

    Checking a property before you buy

    Homebuyer

    You have shortlisted two or three properties and the builder has told you the area is safe. You would like to check that independently.

    1. Open the map and find the address or plot
    2. Read the modeled depth at that location for the 1% flood
    3. Compare your shortlist — the difference between plots a few hundred metres apart can be substantial

    What you get: A modeled flood depth at the location, free, before you pay a token advance.

  2. 02

    Getting something formal to show someone

    Buyer, owner or borrower

    A screenshot is not a document. A bank, an insurer, a builder or a housing society will want something dated, specific to the plot, and with a method behind it.

    1. Drop the pin on the exact plot — not the street, not the pincode
    2. Get the PDF: Flood Score out of 100, modeled depth, satellite flood map and the method

    What you get: A dated, address-specific report you can hand to someone — priced for a person rather than an institution.

  3. 03

    Understanding your own locality

    Existing owner

    You already own the property. The useful question is no longer whether to buy, but what to do about it.

    1. Check the modeled depth at your address
    2. Read your district’s share in the ranking to see how your area compares
    3. Read your state’s analysis for what kind of flooding drives the risk

    What you get: Enough context to decide whether the answer is a raised plinth, moved electricals, insurance, or nothing at all.

  4. 04

    Deciding what flood-proofing is worth it

    Owner planning renovation

    Flood-proofing is cheap during a renovation and expensive afterwards. The decision turns on how deep the water gets, not just whether it comes.

    1. Look at the modeled depth rather than the yes/no answer
    2. Under a metre points to raised plinths, raised sockets and moved storage
    3. Deeper water points to a different conversation entirely

    What you get: A depth figure to size the response against, instead of guessing.

  5. 05

    Choosing a shop or business location

    Small business owner

    A ground-floor shop with stock is one of the most flood-vulnerable things you can own, and rent negotiations rarely mention it.

    1. Check depth at the candidate premises
    2. Compare against alternatives on the same street or nearby
    3. Factor the answer into rent, insurance and how you store stock

    What you get: A location decision made with the flood layer in front of you.

What this data will not do

This is a modeled estimate at roughly 30 m resolution — about the size of a large plot. It is meant for awareness and comparison, not parcel-level certainty, and it is not a legal or survey document. It does not replace a site visit, a structural survey, or local knowledge, and it does not model storm surge or landslides.

We publish the limits next to the numbers. A risk map that hides its own weaknesses isn’t a public good.
