regional flooding
Area-wide water overflow
Regional flooding is flooding that affects a broad geographic area rather than a single neighborhood or property.
The term appears in insurance policies, disaster planning, and news coverage to distinguish widespread flood events—from prolonged rainfall, river overflow, or storm surge—from localized flooding like a burst pipe or clogged drain: The policy excludes damage from regional flooding.
