VERDUN Sort: Floodable Surface Maps for European Flood Directive Reporting

Spatial data produced by the VERDUN High Flood Risk Land Flood Directive (TRI) for reporting under European Directive 2007/60/EC. The dataset is used to produce flood surface and flood risk maps, representing hazards and exposed issues for three probability levels (high, medium, low). It was last updated on 2019-04-01 by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.

Use Cases

• Generate flood hazard maps based on the three defined probability levels.
• Assess territorial vulnerability for flood risk management plans using quantitative evidence.
• Homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure across regions.
• Create flood risk maps representing exposed issues on an appropriate scale.

Strengths

• Produced for a specific regulatory framework (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC).
• Maps flood hazards for three distinct probability levels: high, medium, and low.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-01; freshness should be verified.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent.
