NEUFCHATEAU's geographical data series produced for the European Floods Directive (2007/60/EC). The dataset is used to create flood surface and flood risk maps, representing flood hazards and exposed issues for high, medium, and low probability scenarios. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on April 1, 2019.
Use Cases
- Developing flood risk management plans (PGRIs) based on homogenized flood exposure knowledge.
- Assessing territorial vulnerability using quantitative evidence from three probability levels (high, medium, low).
- Creating flood surface maps representing flood hazards on an appropriate scale.
- Producing flood risk maps representing issues exposed to flooding.
Strengths
- Produced for a specific European regulatory framework (Directive 2007/60/EC).
- Maps flood hazards for three distinct probability levels.
- Aims to provide quantitative evidence for vulnerability assessment.
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 size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
