Floodable surfaces for a water height of 2.10 meters, produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM). The dataset supports flood risk management plans required by the European Flood Directive (2007/60/EC) and French national legislation. It was last updated on March 28, 2019.
Use Cases
- Create flood surface maps based on the defined 2.10-meter water height scenario.
- Assess territorial vulnerability using the three probability levels (high, medium, low) mentioned in the description.
- Develop flood risk management plans (WRMs) as required by the European Flood Directive.
- Homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure for standardized reporting.
Strengths
- Produced by a national geological survey organization (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).
- Created for a specific, defined flood scenario (water height of 2.10 meters).
- Supports a standardized European regulatory framework (Directive 2007/60/EC).
Limitations
