Flood Zone Risk Map for Vendome, Loir-et-Cher at 1.65m Water Level

A spatial dataset of floodable surfaces for the TRI Loir region in France, produced for reporting under the European Flood Directive. The dataset maps areas that would be flooded under a specific 1.65-meter water level scenario in Vendome, Loir-et-Cher. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated on March 28, 2019.

Use Cases

• Creating flood surface and flood risk maps based on the described hazard and issue representation.
• Assessing territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low probability flooding levels as mentioned in the description.
• Informing flood prevention strategies and risk management plans required by EU Directive 2007/60/EC.
• Homogenizing and objectifying knowledge of flood exposure for a specific geographic area.

Strengths

• Produced for a formal regulatory framework (EU Flood Directive 2007/60/EC and French LENE law).
• Designed to provide quantitative evidence for vulnerability assessment at three probability levels.
• Created by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).
