VERDUN Tri: Homogeneous Areas of Economic Activity for Flood Risk Mapping

A 2019 dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) used to produce maps of issues exposed to flooding at an appropriate scale. It supports flood risk management plans required by European Directive 2007/60/EC and French national law, aiming to reduce negative consequences on economic activity and other areas.

Use Cases

• Mapping exposure of economic assets to flood hazards based on the described homogeneous activity areas.
• Informing flood prevention strategies by objectifying knowledge of flood exposure on economic activity.
• Contributing to the homogenization of data for the development of Flood Risk Management Plans (WRMs).

Strengths

• Dataset is produced by a national geological and mining research bureau (BRGM), suggesting authoritative sourcing.
• Explicitly linked to the implementation of a specific European Directive (2007/60/EC) and French law, providing legal context.

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 and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
