A 2020 dataset from the French Geological Survey (BRGM) used to produce maps for flood risk management plans. It contains homogeneous areas describing a type of economic activity on an IRR, supporting the implementation of the European Floods Directive. The data contributes to homogenizing and objectifying knowledge of flood exposure.
Use Cases
- Mapping economic exposure to flood risk based on homogeneous activity areas.
- Developing flood risk management plans (WRMs) as required by EU Directive 2007/60/EC.
- Analyzing the potential impact of flooding on specific economic sectors.
Strengths
- Produced by a national geological survey (BRGM), suggesting authoritative sourcing.
- Designed to support legally mandated flood risk management plans (WRMs).
- Intended to homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2020-03-03 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
