Aquitaine flood risk maps produced for reporting under European Directive 2007/60/EC. The dataset is used to produce flood surface and flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in March 2019.
Use Cases
- Developing flood risk management plans based on homogenized knowledge of flood exposure.
- Assessing territorial vulnerability based on maps for high, medium, and low probability flooding.
- Producing flood surface maps representing flood hazards on an appropriate scale.
- Creating flood risk maps representing issues exposed to flooding.
Strengths
- Maps are produced under a specific European legal framework (Directive 2007/60/EC).
- Designed to provide quantitative evidence for three levels of flood probability.
- Produced by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).
