Flood Risk Territory Characteristics for the Sarreguemines Region

A geospatial table describing the right-of-way and useful characteristics of flood risk territories in the Sarreguemines region. The data was produced by the GIS Flood Directive for reporting under European Directive 2007/60/EC and is used to create flood hazard and risk maps. The dataset was last updated on April 1, 2019, by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.

Use Cases

• Creating flood surface maps based on the described right-of-way and territory characteristics.
• Producing flood risk maps representing exposed issues on an appropriate scale.
• Assessing territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low probability flooding levels.
• Supporting the development of flood risk management plans (PGRIs) by homogenizing knowledge of flood exposure.

Strengths

• Data is produced under a specific European legal framework (Directive 2007/60/EC), suggesting standardized collection.
• Explicitly designed to produce quantitative evidence for vulnerability assessment across three flood probability levels.
• Created by a national geological and mining research organization (BRGM), indicating authoritative sourcing.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
