LONGWY Sort: Floodable Surface Maps for European Flood Directive Reporting

European spatial data produced for the LONGWY High Flood Risk Land under the Flood Directive (TRI). The dataset is used to generate flood surface and flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues for three probability levels (high, medium, low). It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on April 1, 2019.

Use Cases

• Developing flood risk management plans based on homogenized knowledge of flood exposure.
• Creating flood hazard maps based on three levels of flooding probability (high, medium, low).
• Assessing territorial vulnerability using quantitative evidence from flood surface maps.
• Reporting on flood prevention strategies to the European Commission as mandated by the Floods Directive.

Strengths

• Produced by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).
• Created for a specific regulatory purpose (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC).
• Maps flood hazards for three distinct probability levels.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
