- Flood hazard maps
They are developed for areas where a potentially significant flood risk has been identified and show the extent of flooding caused by floods with varying probabilities of occurrence, from more frequent floods (once every 10 years) to extremely rare and extreme floods (once every 1,000 years). They are an invaluable resource for land-use planning, construction decisions, and the design of protective measures.
- Flood risk maps
They provide a more detailed view of the potential adverse effects of floods. They combine information on the probability of flooding with data on the vulnerability of the area, i.e. what buildings, infrastructure, population, or natural assets are located in the flooded area. They have a wide range of uses, from supporting decision-making by local and state authorities, through insurance, to informing residents and planning evacuations in the event of a flood.
- View in context of dataYou can view all key information on flood risk and hazards directly in connection with your cadastral data, land-use plan and technical documentation. This gives you an accurate view of how flood risks affect specific parts of your territory, infrastructure or planned projects
- Depth of floodingIt allows you to determine exactly which areas are most at risk and the extent to which flooding can occur in floods that are likely to occur once every 10, 100 or up to 1000 years. Use this data to plan for the protection of homes, businesses or public infrastructure.
- Flow velocityFlood water velocity map layers are a key tool for revealing where flooding can be most damaging. Faster flows mean a higher risk of infrastructure damage and life-threatening hazards. Flow velocity layers allow you to identify the highest risk locations where increased attention is needed.
- Infrastructure failure - Extent of floodingA unique layer that simulates situations where protective dams, dikes or other critical elements and protective structures fail.
- Overview of flood risksA detailed look at potential threats in the surrounding area. Maps will allow you to pinpoint where the biggest risks are and what their impact may be.1
- Decision support and planningWhether you're a local government official, a business owner or an ordinary resident, these maps will give you the information you need to take precautionary measures and protect your property.2
- Improving security and preparednessIdentifying risk spots means a faster and more effective response to flood measures.3
