Flood risk of a Dutch address

How likely is a Dutch address to flood, today and in 2050 and 2100? From Rijkswaterstaat's flood maps (LIWO) and the national height model (AHN), explained in English.

Free: year built, floor area, energy label and liveability score. The full report (€2.95) includes the annual flood probability (any water, over 20, 50 and 200 cm), 2050 and 2100 scenarios, the worst-case water depth and ground height vs sea level. See a sample report.

Much of the Netherlands lies below sea level behind dikes. Flood probabilities are small for most addresses but vary a lot by location; Rijkswaterstaat models them per spot.

Questions

Is the worst-case depth what I should expect?

No, it is the deepest modelled water across all breach scenarios, a very unlikely event.

Does this cover heavy rain?

No, it covers flooding from dike and levee breaches.
