Flood Risk Maps for IRR Reporting Under the European Flood Directive

European Directive 2007/60/EC mandates flood risk mapping to reduce consequences on health, environment, heritage, and economic activity. This table lists flood risk maps produced for a given IRR to support the development of Flood Risk Management Plans (PGRIs). Produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, the dataset was last updated on 2019-03-29.

Use Cases

• Develop flood risk management plans based on the homogenized flood exposure knowledge described.
• Assess territorial vulnerability based on the three probability levels of flooding (high, medium, low) mentioned.
• Produce flood surface and flood risk maps based on the described hazard and issue representation.
• Provide quantitative evidence for flood prevention strategies based on the dataset's stated objective.

Strengths

• Produced for a specific legal reporting framework (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC).
• Created by a named geological and mining research organization (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).
• Aims to provide quantitative evidence for three distinct probability levels of flooding.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
