A series of geographical data produced by the GIS Flood Directive of NANCY_DAMELEVIERES for reporting under the European Flood Directive. The dataset describes the right-of-way and useful characteristics of flood-risk territory to produce flood surface and flood risk maps. It was last updated on 2019-04-01 by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.
Use Cases
- Producing flood surface maps based on described territory characteristics.
- Creating flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues.
- Assessing territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low flood probability levels.
- Supporting the development of flood risk management plans (PGRIs) as required by EU Directive 2007/60/EC.
Strengths
- Data is produced for a specific legal framework (European Directive 2007/60/EC).
- Designed to homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure for standardized reporting.
- Used to generate quantitative evidence for flood probability assessment.
Limitations
