BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES produced a table of municipalities used to calculate the stakes of inhabitants and jobs for flood scenarios. The dataset supports the European Flood Directive (2007/60/EC) and French national laws, aiming to homogenize knowledge of flood exposure for risk management plans. It was last updated on 2019-04-01.
Use Cases
- Calculate potential human and economic impact of floods based on municipal-level population and job data.
- Generate flood surface and risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues for three probability levels.
- Provide quantitative evidence for territorial vulnerability assessments as required by the European Flood Directive.
Strengths
- Produced by a national geological and mining research organization (BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES).
- Explicitly designed to support legal frameworks like Directive 2007/60/EC and French national laws.
- Created for mapping and reporting purposes under a standardized GIS framework for high flood risk land.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2019-04-01; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
