Map visualisation service (WMS) of the dataset: Territory at significant risk of flood (TRI) Nevers — Nièvre (58)

The Geostandard Flood Directive describes the basis of geographic data produced on the 120 territories at significant risk of flooding (TRI) 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 2007 L 288, 06-11-2007, p. 27) influences the flood prevention strategy in Europe by requiring the production of flood risk management plans on each river basin district. Article 1 of the Floods Directive sets out its objective of establishing a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, which aims to reduce the negative consequences of flooding on human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity. The objectives and requirements for achievement are given by the Law of 12 July 2010 on the National Commitment for the Environment (LENE) and the Decree of 2 March 2011. Within this framework, the primary objective of the mapping of flood areas and flood risks for IRRs is to contribute, by homogenising and objecting knowledge of the exposure of issues to floods, to the drafting of flood risk management plans (FRPs), to the definition of the objectives of this plan and to the development of local strategies by TRI. Thus, this Geostandard aims to: 1. homogenise the production of data used for flood area and flood hazard maps, 2. facilitate the implementation of GIS on each IRR. This GIS Flood Directive should become a living reference for knowledge of the hazards and risks of flooding on these IRRs and will be used to establish flood risk management plans. IRR SGIs will be integrated into a national common GIS.
