European Directive 2007/60/EC requires flood risk management plans to reduce negative consequences on health, environment, and economic activity. This dataset contains tables of ad hoc issues relating to sensitive establishments whose flooding may aggravate crisis management, produced for reporting under this directive. Data from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières is used to produce maps of exposed issues at an appropriate scale.
Use Cases
- Identify flood-vulnerable infrastructure based on the description of 'sensitive establishments and installations'.
- Support crisis management planning based on data describing issues that may 'aggravate or complicate crisis management'.
- Create homogenized flood exposure maps based on the stated objective to 'homogenise and objectivate knowledge of flood exposure'.
Strengths
- Data is produced for a specific regulatory purpose under European Directive 2007/60/EC.
- Designed to contribute to official Flood Risk Management Plans (WRMs).
- Aims to homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure for mapping.
