Flood warning levels

INHGA tracks three thresholds at every station: the warning level, the flood level and the danger level. The INHGA map only shows whether the level has exceeded them, not their values in centimetres, so here we show the station's status rather than the thresholds.

Now: level below the flood-defence levels
