Raw vigilance — VIC

Raw vigilance is developed by the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition. It is established by the Central Service of Hydro — Meteorology and Support to Flood Forecasting (SCHAPI) attached to the Ministry’s Directorate-General for Risk Prevention in collaboration with the 19 flood forecasting services (SPCs attached to DREAL or Météo-France). Its objective is to raise awareness of flood risk, informing, with the same message, the general public and actors of crisis management, of the level of risk of floods occurring on the main watercourses monitored by the state. Seized of this information of vigilance, the public authorities in charge of civil security (prefects and mayors) trigger the alert when necessary and mobilise the appropriate means of relief. France and overseas are divided into raw jurisdictions (CCT) — each is managed by a flood forecasting service (SPC) or a hydrometeorological monitoring cell (HVC) and the central service of hydrometeorology and d' flood forecasting support (Schapi). The management of a TCC is therefore carried out by a service of the State or a public institution. The regulatory framework of a TCC can be defined by regulatory texts. In the specific case of SSCs, it is: the regulation for monitoring, forecasting and transmitting floods; flood information (RIC). the Master Plan for Flood Forecasting (SDPC) (see Circular of 04 November 2010 NOR: DEVP1023695C). Within each CBT, there are raw vigilance entities. A raw vigilance entity may be: — a specific location on a course of water located at n°#x27; location of a hydrometric station or a meteorological site, — a section of flood vigilance (i.e. thematic hydrographic segment), — a flood catchment area (i.e. water catchment area), — a flood vigilance area or territory encompassing several raw vigilance entities, on which a synthesis of raw vigilance information may be made. Each watercourse, integrated into the flood vigilance and visible on the vigilance map, is divided into sections (i.e., raw vigilance entity). Each section is assigned a color: green, yellow, orange or red depending on the level of vigilance required to deal with flood hazards that may occur within the next 24 hours. __Partner organisations__ Ash, Central Service for Hydrometeorology and D' Support for Flood Forecasting __Links annexes__ * [see documentation on Sandre website](http://www.sandre.eaufrance.fr/squelettes/consulter_fiche_dictionnaire.php?dictionnaire=/db/sandre/Schemas/vic/1.1/sandre_fmt_xml_vic.xsd) [See this page on geo.data.gouv.fr](https://geo.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/eedefe93f6d82baf728969c80b817dd69fd3c9ac)
