Flood Hazard Areas for Sarreguemines, France Under EU Directive Scenarios

Geospatial data series of floodable areas for the Sarreguemines region, produced for reporting under the European Floods Directive. The dataset is used to create flood surface and flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues for three probability levels. It was last updated by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières on 2019-04-01.

Use Cases

• Generate flood surface maps based on defined flooding types and scenarios.
• Create flood risk maps by combining hazard data with information on exposed assets.
• Assess territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low probability flooding events.
• Support the homogenization of flood exposure knowledge for national environmental commitments.

Strengths

• Produced under the legally binding European Directive 2007/60/EC, ensuring a standardized framework.
• Designed to map three distinct levels of flood probability (high, medium, low).
• Created by a national geological and mining research organization (BRGM).

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-01; freshness should be verified.
