A table of challenges for linear infrastructure whose flooding may aggravate crisis management, produced for reporting under the European Flood Directive. The dataset was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in March 2019. It is used to produce maps of exposed issues at an appropriate scale.
Use Cases
- Assessing infrastructure vulnerability to flooding based on reported challenges
- Developing flood risk management plans (WRMs) based on homogenized knowledge of flood exposure
- Mapping exposed infrastructure issues at an appropriate scale for crisis management
Strengths
- Created for a specific regulatory purpose (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC), suggesting structured reporting
- Produced by a geological and mining research bureau (BRGM), indicating technical expertise
- Designed to homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure for risk management plans
