VERDUN TRI Floodable Areas for European Flood Directive Reporting

VERDUN's geographical data series maps areas to be flooded under specific scenarios for the European Flood Directive. The data is produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated on April 1, 2019. It is used to produce flood surface and flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues for three probability levels (high, medium, low).

Use Cases

• Producing flood surface maps based on floodable area geometries.
• Creating flood risk maps representing exposed issues on an appropriate scale.
• Assessing territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low probability flooding events.
• Developing flood risk management plans (PGRIs) as required by European Directive 2007/60/EC.
• Homogenizing and objectifying knowledge of flood exposure for comparative analysis.

Strengths

• Data is produced for a specific legal framework (European Directive 2007/60/EC), ensuring regulatory relevance.
• Maps flood hazards for three distinct probability levels (high, medium, low).
• Created by a recognized geological and mining research organization (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).

Limitations
