Flood Risk Maps for Pont-Saint-VincenT TRI Under the EU Floods Directive

French spatial data produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières for the Pont-Saint-VincenT Territorial Risk Area (TRI). This dataset supports the creation of flood hazard and risk maps for high, medium, and low probability flood events, as mandated by the European Floods Directive (2007/60/EC). The data was last updated on April 1, 2019.

Use Cases

• Creating flood hazard surface maps based on the three defined probability levels mentioned in the description
• Developing flood risk maps that overlay hazards with exposed human and economic assets
• Providing quantitative evidence for territorial vulnerability assessments as described in the directive
• Supporting the homogenization and objectification of flood exposure knowledge for national reporting

Strengths

• Produced by a recognized geological and mining research bureau (BRGM)
• Created for a specific legal framework (EU Floods Directive 2007/60/EC)
• Designed for mapping at an appropriate scale for risk management plans

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
