River flood hazard maps for Europe and the Mediterranean Basin region

The maps depict flood prone areas for river flood events for six different flood frequencies (from 1-in-10-years to 1-in-500-years). The extent comprises most of the geographical Europe and all the river basins entering the Mediterranean and Black Seas in the Caucasus, Middle East and Northern Africa countries. Cell values indicate water depth (in m). The maps can be used to assess the exposure of population and economic assets to river floods, and to perform flood risk assessments.

这些地图描绘了六种不同洪水频率（10年一遇至500年一遇）下河流洪水事件的易涝区域。其覆盖范围包括欧洲大部分地理区域，以及高加索、中东和北非国家中所有汇入地中海与黑海的河流流域。单元格值表示水深（单位：米）。这些地图可用于评估人口与经济资产对河流洪水的暴露程度，并开展洪水风险评估。注：本数据集基于欧盟联合研究中心（JRC）的研究成果，并非官方洪水灾害图（flood hazard map）；有关详细信息与局限性，请参阅相关出版物。
