European Directive 2007/60/EC on flood risk assessment and management requires the production of flood risk management plans. This dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, last updated in 2019, describes homogeneous areas of economic activity to map flood exposure for the Saint-Dié and Baccarat regions. It is used to produce maps of exposed issues at an appropriate scale for flood risk management plans.
Use Cases
- Mapping economic exposure to flood risk based on the described homogeneous activity areas.
- Contributing to Flood Risk Management Plan (WRM) development based on homogenized knowledge of flood exposure.
- Analyzing the potential impact of flooding on economic activity in specific IRR zones.
- Supporting environmental policy implementation based on the requirements of the 2010 LENE law and 2011 decree.
Strengths
- Data is produced under a specific European legal framework (Directive 2007/60/EC), suggesting a standardized purpose.
- Dataset is associated with a specific geological and mining research organization (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).
- Has a defined last update date of 2019-04-01.
