Flood risk management plans required by European Directive 2007/60/EC aim to reduce negative consequences on health, environment, heritage, and economic activity. This dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières contributes to homogenizing knowledge of flood exposure for infrastructure. It is used to produce maps of exposed issues at an appropriate scale.
Use Cases
- Mapping flood exposure for road and rail networks based on the description of flood risk mapping.
- Assessing infrastructure vulnerability to flooding based on the objective of reducing negative consequences.
- Supporting the development of flood risk management plans (WRMs) based on the legal context described.
- Homogenizing knowledge of flood exposure for comparative analysis across regions based on the dataset's stated primary objective.
Strengths
- Created by a geological and mining research bureau (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières), suggesting authoritative sourcing.
- Designed to support legally mandated flood risk management plans (WRMs), indicating a clear regulatory purpose.
- Intended to produce maps at an appropriate scale, implying a focus on practical application.
