Norfolk's safest and riskiest postcodes in World War Three

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 13:02 · Archive

A postcode checker created by a Ukrainian shows which Norfolk locations would be safest and most dangerous in a third World War.

An interactive tool called the Doomsday postcode checker, built by a Ukrainian who moved to the UK after the war with Russia began, assesses how safe any postcode would be if Britain came under attack. The tool scores properties out of 100 and assigns them a band from A, the safest, to G. It weighs proximity to likely targets such as military bases, power stations and ports, along with factors including wind, rain, hills and distance to the nearest A&E.

Across Norfolk, scores range from just 10A in Cromer to 70F at RAF Marham, with most of the county rating at the lower end. RAF Marham, home to Britain's F-35 stealth jets, emerged as the county's riskiest location. RAF Feltwell, an American-run base west of Thetford, scored 56E, while Swanton Morley, home to the Army's Robertson Barracks, scored 54E. Thetford itself scored 57E, with the tool citing a nearby military fuel depot as a risk factor.

Across the border in Suffolk, Sizewell B nuclear power station received the only G-rating found, scoring 76G.
