A table of municipalities used to calculate the stakes of numbers of inhabitants and jobs for each flood scenario, produced for reporting purposes for the European Flood Directive. The dataset is produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated on March 29, 2019. It is used to produce flood surface and flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues.
Use Cases
- Calculating human exposure to flood hazards based on municipal population data.
- Assessing economic vulnerability based on municipal job counts.
- Creating flood risk maps for three probability levels (high, medium, low).
- Providing quantitative evidence for territorial vulnerability assessments.
- Supporting the homogenization and objectification of flood exposure knowledge.
Strengths
- Created for a specific regulatory purpose (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC).
- Produced by a geological and mining research bureau (BRGM).
- Designed to contribute to standardized flood risk management plans.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
