A series of geographical data produced for the GIS High Flood Risk Land Flood Directive (TRI) of Pont Saint Vincent. The dataset describes the right-of-way and useful characteristics of the flood-risk territory to produce flood surface and flood risk maps. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on April 1, 2019.
Use Cases
- Generate flood surface maps based on described right-of-way and territory characteristics.
- Create flood risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues for three probability levels (high, medium, low).
- Assess territorial vulnerability to flooding using quantitative evidence from the mapped characteristics.
- Support the development of flood risk management plans (PGRIs) as required by European Directive 2007/60/EC.
Strengths
- Data is produced for a specific legal framework (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC), ensuring regulatory relevance.
- Designed to homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure for standardized reporting.
