The European Directive 2007/60/EC of 23 October 2007 on the risk assessment and management of the risks of #x27; flooding (OJ L 288, 06-11-2007, p. 27) influences the flood prevention strategy in Europe. It requires the production of a risk management plan of' floods aimed at reducing 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 establishing a national commitment for the environment (LENE) and the decree of 2 March 2011. Within this framework, the primary objective of the mapping of floodable surfaces and risks of ' flooding for IRRs is to contribute, by homogenising and objecting knowledge of the #x27th; exposure of issues to floods, to #x27; development of risk management plans of' flooding (PGRI).
This dataset is used to produce maps of issues on an appropriate scale.
