Flood warnings in England: why don't they include postcodes? Even outer postcodes would be useful.

Why aren't they organised by county or, in London, borough? Region at the very least?

It's an alphabetical list, but there are many places in England with the same name.

Even worse, many of the listings don't even start with the name of the area, but with a descriptive modifier, e.g. 'groundwater', 'lower', 'middle'.
