[DREAL OCCITANIA] Flood Directive — High flood risk territory TOULOUSE — Crisis management issues (linear)

A set of spatial data produced for the High Flood Risk Land Flood Directive (TRI) of TOULOUSE and mapped for reporting purposes for the European Flood Directive. European Directive 2007/60/EC of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks (OJ L 288, 06-11-2007, p. 27) influences the flood prevention strategy in Europe. It requires the production of flood risk management plans aimed at reducing the negative consequences of flooding on human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity. The objectives and implementation requirements are set out in the Law of 12 July 2010 on the National Commitment for the Environment (LENE) and the Decree of 2 March 2011. In this context, the primary objective of flood and flood risk mapping for IRRs is to contribute, by homogenising and objectivating knowledge of flood exposure, to the development of flood risk management plans (WRMs). This data set is used to produce flood surface maps and flood risk maps that represent flood hazards and issues at an appropriate scale, respectively. Their objective is to provide quantitative evidence to further assess the vulnerability of a territory for the three levels of probability of flooding (high, medium, low).
