Update: 9 April 2014
The Integrity Guide has now also been added to the GOV.UK page.
Post: 3 March 2014
I have obtained a copy of the Flood Warning Data Integrity Guide, a technical document intended for anyone who uses the Environment Agency’s live flood warning data (either the live XML feed or Flood Alert/Flood Warning Polygons).
You can download the Integrity Guide (in a zip file with the EA’s Standard Notice) here:
Flood Warning Data Integrity Guide
The feed and polygons were recently (and temporarily) made available as open data by the Environment Agency.
The Integrity Guide was released by the EA in response to a Freedom of Information request.
