Flood hazard maps produced for the Mulhousian agglomeration under the European Flood Directive. The dataset likely contains spatial data representing floodable surfaces for three probability levels (high, medium, low). It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in March 2019.
Use Cases
- Assess territorial vulnerability based on flood probability levels mentioned in the description.
- Develop flood risk management plans based on homogenized flood exposure data.
- Create flood surface and flood risk maps for reporting to European authorities.
- Quantify flood hazards and issues at an appropriate scale for policy development.
Strengths
- Created under a specific European Directive (2007/60/EC), providing a regulatory framework.
- Maps flood hazards for three distinct probability levels (high, medium, low).
- Produced by a named geological research organization (BRGM).
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-03-22; 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.
