European Directive 2007/60/EC mandates flood risk mapping to reduce impacts on health, environment, and economy. This dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières maps areas where a specific hazard scenario causes water rises within fixed height ranges for the TRI Loir region. It was last updated on March 28, 2019 and is used to produce flood surface and risk maps for high, medium, and low probability scenarios.
Use Cases
- Creating flood surface maps based on hazard type and scenario described in the dataset.
- Developing flood risk management plans based on the homogenized knowledge of flood exposure.
- Assessing territorial vulnerability for three levels of flood probability (high, medium, low) using the quantitative evidence provided.
- Mapping flood hazards and issues at an appropriate scale for reporting under the European Flood Directive.
Strengths
- Dataset is produced for a specific legal framework (European Directive 2007/60/EC).
- It contributes to a standardized and objective knowledge of flood exposure.
- It supports mapping for three distinct levels of flood probability.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2019-03-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
