A series of geographical data produced for the European Flood Directive maps municipalities used to calculate human stakes in flood scenarios. The dataset supports the creation of flood surface and flood risk maps for the VERDUN High Flood Risk Land area, providing quantitative evidence for territorial vulnerability assessment. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in April 2019.
Use Cases
- Calculate exposed population and job counts for flood scenarios based on municipality data.
- Develop flood risk management plans (PGRIs) based on homogenized knowledge of flood exposure.
- Create flood surface and flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues.
- Assess territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low probability flooding levels.
Strengths
- Produced under the European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC, ensuring a standardized regulatory framework.
- Designed to provide quantitative evidence for flood risk assessment across three probability levels.
- Created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, a geological and mining research organization.
