April 2019 data from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) maps challenges for sensitive establishments and installations whose flooding may complicate crisis management. This dataset supports flood risk management plans by homogenizing knowledge of flood exposure, as required by European Directive 2007/60/EC and French national law. It is used to produce maps of exposed issues at an appropriate scale.
Use Cases
- Identify facilities vulnerable to flooding based on descriptions of sensitive establishments.
- Assess potential complications for crisis management during floods based on the dataset's stated purpose.
- Develop flood risk management plans (WRMs) using homogenized exposure knowledge referenced in the description.
- Map flood exposure for sensitive infrastructure at an appropriate scale as described.
Strengths
- Data is structured for producing maps at an appropriate scale.
- Created under the framework of European Directive 2007/60/EC and French national law (LENE).
- Managed by a geological and mining research bureau (BRGM).
