Flood Risk Infrastructure Issues in New-Aquitaine, France

Produced for reporting under the European Flood Directive (2007/60/EC), this dataset maps linear infrastructure whose flooding can aggravate crisis management. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in March 2019. The data is used to produce maps of exposed issues at an appropriate scale for flood risk management plans.

Use Cases

• Identify critical infrastructure vulnerabilities for flood contingency planning based on the described 'challenges related to linear infrastructure'.
• Support the homogenization and objectification of flood exposure knowledge as mentioned for developing Flood Risk Management Plans (WRMs).
• Create cartographic outputs for European Flood Directive reporting based on the dataset's stated purpose.

Strengths

• Created by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).
• Explicitly designed to meet the legal requirements of European Directive 2007/60/EC.

Limitations
