Issues related to sensitive establishments, infrastructure and installations

Tables of issues corresponding to sensitive establishments, infrastructures and installations whose flooding may aggravate or complicate crisis management. 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 a flood risk management plan 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 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 development of Flood Risk Management Plans (IFMPs). This dataset is used to produce maps of issues on an appropriate scale.
