Floodable areas mapped for the LONGWY High Flood Risk Area under the European Flood Directive. The dataset is produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières to homogenize knowledge of flood exposure and support quantitative vulnerability assessment for high, medium, and low probability scenarios. It was last updated on April 1, 2019.
Use Cases
- Generate flood surface maps based on the defined floodable areas.
- Create flood risk maps representing exposed issues on an appropriate scale.
- Assess territorial vulnerability for three levels of flooding probability mentioned in the description.
- Support the development of flood risk management plans (PGRIs) as required by EU Directive 2007/60/EC.
Strengths
- Produced for reporting to the European Flood Directive, suggesting a standardized regulatory framework.
- Designed to provide quantitative evidence for vulnerability assessment across three probability levels.
- Created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, a geological and mining research organization.
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 formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
