A spatial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) identifies neighbourhoods used to calculate human stakes for flood scenarios. It supports the homogenization of flood exposure knowledge for Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) as mandated by European Directive 2007/60/EC. The data was last updated on March 3, 2020.
Use Cases
- Producing flood surface maps based on spatial neighbourhood data.
- Creating flood risk maps that represent hazards and human issues at an appropriate scale.
- Assessing territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low probability flooding levels.
- Informing Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) required by the European Floods Directive.
Strengths
- Produced by the authoritative geological and mining research bureau (BRGM) of France.
- Supports a standardized European framework mandated by Directive 2007/60/EC.
- Designed to provide quantitative evidence for three distinct flood probability levels.
Limitations
- Last updated 2020-03-03 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.
