(b) flood with a medium probability (likely return period 100 years);
(c) floods with a high probability, where appropriate.
Members States have flexibility to assign specific flood probabilities to these scenarios.
For each scenario, Members State must prepare information of flood extents and water depth or
levels (art 6.4). Where appropriate, Members States could also prepare information on flow
velocities or the relevant water flow.
For each flooding scenario, the flood risk maps shall show:
1. the indicative number of inhabitants potentially affected;
2. type of economic activity of the area potentially affected;
3. installations as referred to in Annex I to Council Directive 2008/1/EC (codified version of
Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996) concerning integrated pollution prevention and
control which might cause accidental pollution in case of flooding and potentially affected
WFD protected areas identified in Annex IV(1)(i), (iii) and (v) to Directive 2000/60/EC;
The maps may show other information which the Member State considers useful such as the
indication of areas where floods with a high content of transported sediments and debris floodscan occur and information on other significant sources of pollution.
For coastal flooding where there is an adequate level of protection in place, and for groundwater
flooding, Member States can decide to limit the preparation of flood hazard maps to low probability
or extreme events (art 6.6 and 6.7).
1.2.1 Guidance structure
This guidance document is the continuation of the agreed reporting sheet with the goal of defining
the reporting needs
Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 are background or 'supporting' chapters
The backbone of the document is the reporting arrangements which are distributed between fourchapters:
Chapter 5 describes what will be shown at European level through WISE
Chapter 6 describes the information the Member States are expected to report which will be
used in the visualisation at European level (chapter 5)
Chapter 8 deals with the content of the national level maps, Member States are expected to
set up in accordance with the Directive in a distributed manner.
Chapter 11 describes the delivery mechanism for distributed maps
Development of reporting/data exchange formats and visualisation shall furthermore be in line with
relevant requirements of INSPIRE, in particular as regards the Annex III theme Natural RiskZones, but also in relation to other relevant themes e.g. area management / restriction / regulation
zones and reporting units.
1.3 Reporting arrangements
As written in the reporting sheet for flood hazard and risk maps (reference #2, pg 3), All reporting
under the Directive should be done electronically via WISE (Water Information Systems for
Europe). The reporting of Flood hazard maps and flood risk maps however presents two main
challenges in this context.
Firstly, the current scale of visualisation of maps in the current WISE map viewer (scale 1:250000)might not be the appropriate scale for such maps, as mentioned in the Directive.
-

Guidance Document No:22
Guidance on Implementing the Geographical Information System (GIS) Elements of the EU Water policy
Appendix 13.3: Guidance on the reporting
of geographical data
11
Secondly, the INSPIRE Directive rules for metadata on relevant topics may not be fully operational
until after 2014, that is most likely after the reporting deadline for the flood hazard maps and flood
risk maps.
The road map for implementation of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1205/2008 of 3
December 2008 as regard Metadata (for both data sets and services) are:
- Data sets and services of Annex I and II - Implementation by the 03.12.2010
- Data sets and Services of Annex III - Implementation by the 03.12. 2013
The implementation of the INSPIRE Directive rules for metadata on both data and services should
be operational by the end of 2013 and therefore fully implemented when the reporting deadline for
the flood hazard and risk map are due on the 22nd
of December 2013.
This leads to a two pronged approach on reporting and visualisation of flood maps via WISE.
To address these challenges, a decentralised and staged approach to reporting flood maps will be
implemented. The detailed and reference data for the flood hazard maps and flood risk maps shall
rest in the national repositories for these maps (the decentralised approach), with web-links to
these maps provided through geographical information as set out in section C (of the reporting
sheet) (and through textual information on methodologies) provided to the public through WISE.
Under the staged approach, it is proposed that in the short term (until 2014) the reporting of flood
maps should be based on textual information on methodologies used, and reporting of
geographical information as set out in section C (of the reporting sheet), with web-links to detailed
maps held in the Member States. This should be visualised in a way which allows the user to
select an area from the EU-wide WISE background map, and then via hyperlink established in
WISE, to switch and to zoom into the correct area at MS level. This will also take into
consideration the reporting of existing maps according to article 13.2.
The technical solution (web services) for providing national floods maps should in addition also be
in line with the Implementing Rules for INSPIRE Network Services (Discovery, View, Download,
Transform) Commission Regulation (EC) No 976/2009 which have the following implementingdates:
- Discovery and View - Implementation by the 09.11.2011
- Download and Transformation - Implementation by the 28.12.2012
Data, as set out in section C (of the reporting sheet), shall be reported which are required to
enable compliance checking by Commission and production of certain maps and reference data
sets to be produced at the European level (WISE scale). The content of reporting as described in
the Reporting Sheet reflect what is needed for the compliance checking or for the production of
complete reference datasets across EU27 for other uses by the Commission, including JRC and
EEA. However, some data can be labelled conditional (only applies for certain conditions) or
optional for additional reporting where this information is available and can provide added value. .
In the longer term as INSPIRE is being implemented, notably to be in place for the second cycle of
flood maps (deadline for establishing maps: 22.12.2019), the format for reporting/data and
information exchange and visualisation/displayed of flood maps should be in a decentralised
mode foreseen by that Directive, and in line with a Shared Environmental Information System
(SEIS) initiative and made available via WISE.
1.3.1 Reporting arrangements stages applied to this document
Stage 1 first reporting cycle
Chapter 6 describes the reporting to the Commission of spatial and XML data
Chapter 8 describes the content of the national level maps, but only where datasets areexistence (i.e does not expect pre-compliance with INSPIRE data specifications). However

1.4.2 Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment
Article 4 of the Floods Directive requires Member States to undertake a Preliminary Flood Risk
Assessment (PFRA) for each river basin district, unit of management or the portion of an
international river basin district or unit of management lying within their territory. The identification
of areas with a potential significant flood risk (art. 5) will be based on available or readily derivable
information including the requirements specified in the directive (art. 4).
Available or readily derivable information should, where possible, include details of:
Significant floods that have occurred in the past and their location, extent, conveyance routes
and adverse consequences, and other floods that occurred in the past which would have
significant adverse consequences if they occurred again;
Potential adverse consequences of future floods;
Impacts of climate change and long-term developments on the occurrence of floods; and,
Other available or readily derivable information, as relevant to the Member State, on issues
such as topography, the position of water courses and their general hydrological and geo-
morphological characteristics, including flood plains as natural retention areas, the
effectiveness of existing flood defence infrastructure, and the position of populated areas and
areas of economic activity.
Article 5 requires that the PFRA shall be used as the basis for the identification of areas for which
Member States conclude that potential significant flood risk (APSFR) exist or might be considered
likely to occur in the future for each river basin district, unit of management or the portion of an
international river basin district or unit of management lying within a Member States territory.
Member States shall complete the preliminary flood risk assessment by 22 December 2011.

3. As-is analysis and gap analysis3.1 EXCIMAP analysis
The following is extracted from Excimap:
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/flood_risk/flood_atlas/pdf/flood_maps_ch8.pdf
It is intended to post this information in the guidance from the EXCIMAP and Member
States can update this information during the review period as it dates from 2007.
Most countries have flood extent maps. This flood extent should be related to a specified flood
frequency.
Frequencies used in the maps vary from 1/30 to 1/10.000. Most countries use only 2 or 3 different
frequencies (e.g. 1/100 and 1/1000, or the less accurate frequent and exceptional), Flanders
seventeen (2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 500 and 1000 years).
England & Wales distinguish between floods originating from the sea (1/200) and flood from rivers
(1/100), while Ireland gives an indication of the uncertainty of the flood extent. Maps become
difficult to read when flood extent is presented in iso-lines (instead of coloured surfaces) or when
current velocities are presented is arrows (that may merge together with parallel current lines).
Often flood extent for different frequencies is presented in one map. Increasing intensities of blue,
suggesting increasing flood depth, represent the most frequent flooded (deeper) areas (like
England & Wales, Finland, Germany). Flood depth maps may be presented for one representative
flood frequency, e.g. 1/100. An interesting example is from Japan, in which the flood depth
intervals are such that it contains danger/how to act information for individuals. In France maps
exist that also present flood duration.
Information on historic floods is shown on maps from France, Finland and Ireland. With this type
of information one should be aware that since this flood event floodwave characteristics andfloodplain topography may have changed considerably and that therefore this historic flood may
not representative for present conditions. However, this information is valuable to increase flood
awareness.
Flood hazard maps, indicating where the combination of current velocity and waterdepth may be
dangerous, are published in England & Wales. Austria uses the more or less comparable drag
force parameter. In Rheinland-Pfalz (Germany) and Switzerland this velocity-depth information is
related to frequency, expressing this hazard information in a more sophisticated way for
professional users. The dominant colours for this type of hazard information are red, orange and
yellow.
In terms of flood risk maps, official maps indicating potential damage are rare. The only examples
are from Germany (Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen). Italy, Spain and Switzerland have official risk zone
maps. These maps are based on the probability of flooding in combination with the land use
sensitivity /vulnerability to flooding. In Italy and Switzerland this risk zonation relates to spatial
planning regulations and construction requirements. Specific vulnerability maps are available in
England & Wales (social vulnerability of the population) and Sachsen (Germany) (vulnerable
services, like hospitals).

5. Products at the European level5.1 Overview
The aim of this section is to describe the output map products which will be produced at the
European level. This section is intended to expose the approach which will be taken in order for
these maps to be developed.
It is important to convey these maps will not necessarily provide the exact same message as the
national level maps. The goal of these maps is not the same as the national level maps. These
maps are intended to draw the attention of the user or citizen to areas of interest. This section is
showing what will be done at European level in order to build up a picture, drawing attention to
where the information has been reported and where national FHRM are available and the user
can zoom in to see.
Where possible information will be used from the Member State reporting, other Directives and
other European data sets. This is phase 1, as it is envisaged that INSPIRE will make availablemuch more information from Member States which will be used to underpin the Flood hazard and
risk maps.
5.2 Maps produced for the WISE viewer
The intention is to disseminate certain aspects of the reported FD data and information via WISE,
and where necessary, appropriate and possible, provide links to data and information from other
sources such as national flood maps which can provide a higher resolution than WISE which will
be more appropriate for flood mapping purposes (larger scale than 1:250.000).
This chapter describes the proposed European level map. This will be derived from informationreported by the Member States (further details in the next chapter) and other European level
datasets available, for example from other reporting streams and INSPIRE.
Within this European level viewer, the user will also be able to access Member State flood maps
available as INSPIRE Network Services or links at larger zoom scales.
5.2.1 Data to be used in the maps
Section 6 details the reporting needs under this Directive. The reporting to the Commission is a
combination of spatial information (GIS layers) and tabular information (xml). The European level
view of the Floods hazard and risk maps will be derived from a combination of Member State
submissions and other datasets available at European level, primarily from other reporting
streams. To summarize though, it would be expected Member States are reporting the following:
APSFR/UoM
Information under the medium probability where applicable and for coastal and groundwater
floods under the low probability
Summary data for exposed elements (e.g. population) for relevant probability (see reporting
sheet section C Data point 1-6.)

With the services it is expected a legend will also be provided and metadata, both of which will be
made available to the user to ensure the context of the maps are correctly interpreted. This is
critical when it is likely there will be no consistent implementation of map presentation.
The Member State services should only provide the hazard and risk maps. The background maps
.e.g streets, aerial etc will be provided by the European service even at large scales beyond
1:250,000.

6.2.1.3 GML application schema.
Data conformant to the application schema Natural Risk Zones shall be encoded using the
encoding specified and distributed with the INSPIRE data specification.
6.2.2 XML schema
The XML schema will be used for the reporting of certain summary information and data. The XML
schema is used to provide structure for the reporting. The reporting schema, guidance and
provided tools can be found at http://icm.eionet.europa.eu/schemas/dir200760ec/resources/
6.2.2.1 Schema structure overview
The XML schema is available at the above link with a separate reporting guidance. The broad
structure is provided here to aid in the understanding of the reporting and linkages to the other
sections in this document:
6.2.2.2 Summary text
The following list provides broad groupings of the information to be reported. However, in
execution the schema developed has a more structured approach, breaking down the free textfields into more discrete and targeted items. This facilitates the definition of the requirement and
the use of the information after reporting.
1. Summary (< 10.000 characters) on methods used to identify, assess or calculate: flooding
extent (including resolution of digital terrain models); flooding probabilities (including
information as to why particular probabilities have been selected) or return periods; depths
or water levels; velocities or flows (where appropriate); models used, datasets, uncertainties,
if and if so how, climate change has been taking into account in the mapping(article 6);
2. Where particular flood scenarios have been omitted , a summary (< 5000 characters)
information on the exclusion of particular groundwater or coastal flooding scenarios, and a
justification for these decisions, including information on the justification that adequate level
of protection is in place in coastal areas and where articles 6.6 and 6.7 has been applied.

location of installations which might cause accidental pollution in case of flooding and
potentially affected areas identified in WFD Annex IV(1)(i) (iii) and (v) the flooding scenarios
(art 6.5(c));
Optional geographic information
The reporting sheet lists the following optional geographical information:
1. Areas vulnerable to floods with a high content of transported sediment and debris flows for
each flood scenario (art 6.5(d)).
2. The location of other significant sources of pollution, including the areas potentially affected
where possible (art 6.5(d)).
3. Maps with other information that Member States may consider useful (art 6.5 (d) (examples
may be , flood event maps, flood damage maps, maps or areas benefiting from protection
against flooding, evacuation maps, maps relating to other potential natural or manmade
hazards, etc
4. Maps showing coastal areas where adequate level of protection is in place, and where
article 6.6 will be applied (NB: IF article 6.6 is applied, this map is mandatory).
8.3 Map context
According to the recommendations from the Excimap (reference #1), these maps are to be made
available at the national level and it is important to note for interpretation they should all be
accompanied by the following in some capacity. Information that is important for use and that
explain the content of the map includes:
Title: brief description of the map, including its content and / or purpose (for flood maps
particularly important are the considered probabilities or recurrence intervals
Responsible authority (organisation responsible for the development and publishing of the
maps, with contact details)
Date of preparation / publication
Legend (textual description of symbols, colours, line features, etc.)
Purpose of development and intended use
Method of development
Limitations of map and / or assessment of uncertainty (if available)
Disclaimer (to enforce explanatory information and limitations, and provide legal protection to
the responsible authority against adverse consequences of misuse)
North and scale: preferably using scale bar as this allows for changes in page size
The scope and detail of the explanatory information should be appropriate to the intended
audience.
Maps intended for public use should be simple and self-explanatory and include a clear
legend, such that as little supporting or explanatory information as possible is required for
correct interpretation.

8.7.1 Rationale
Flood risk maps showing the potential adverse consequences expressed in terms of the location
of installations as referred to in Annex I to Council Directive 2008/1/EC (codified version of
Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996) concerning integrated pollution prevention and controlwhich might cause accidental pollution in case of flooding.
8.7.2 Visualisation suggestions
For this map it would be expected the minimum the Member State will show is what has been
reported under the EPRTR, but it is expected they have more detailed information.
This layer will show point locations of installations (for a specific industrial activity or NACE code)
as they are reported under the E-PRTR Directive

8.8 Map 4b: Flood risk map and environment: WFD protected areas
8.8.1 Rationale
Flood risk maps showing the potential adverse consequences expressed in terms of the locationof potentially affected WFD protected areas identified in Annex IV(1)(i), (iii) and (v) to Directive
2000/60/EC.
8.8.2 Visualisation suggestions
For this map it would be expected the minimum the Member State will show is what has been
reported under the WFD, but it is expected they have more detailed information.
The WFD information referred to is the following:
1. Areas designated for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption under Article 7
of the WFD;
2. Recreational waters and Bathing waters3. Areas designated for the protection of habitats or species.
Probabilities classified according to type of consequence - environment (reference #4):
Waterbody Status: Adverse permanent or long-term consequences ecological or chemical
status of surface water bodies or chemical status of ground water bodies affected, as of
concern under the WFD. Such consequences may arise from pollution from various sources
(point and diffuse) or due to hydromorphological impacts of flooding.
Protected Areas: Adverse permanent or long-term consequences to protected areas or
waterbodies such as those designated under the Birds and Habitats Directives, bathing
waters or drinking water abstraction points.
Other: Other potential permanent or long-term adverse environmental impacts, such as those
on soil, biodiversity, flora and fauna, etc.

8.9.1 Rationale
Areas vulnerable to floods with a high content of transported sediment and debris flows for each
probability (art 6.5(d))
This map would be derived from firstly an analysis of flow velocity, a map product in itself.
Therefore the flood hazard is represented by the the velocity at a particular location. .
(Flow velocity is highly localized information which can be represented at a detailed scale)

9. Data production9.1 Spatial resolution
9.1.1 Scale
Member States are recommended not to simplify spatial data before submitting to WISE for
reporting. The accuracy of the data should however be documented in the metadata so the
simplification process performed in WISE during e.g. reference data production can respect the
original accuracy.
Considering both the WISE needs and the practical constraints of data availability, the GIS
Working Group recommends that the required positional accuracy for reported data should be
better than 125 metres (1:250 000). The positional accuracy should always be kept as high as
possible and ideally be similar to the national operational datasets.
9.1.2 Positional accuracy
This quality sub-element shows the closeness of reported coordinate values to values accepted
as or being true. All spatial objects should be provided at the source accuracy where possible.
Where more than one geometry is available at the source, the provided geometry should be the
one with the highest spatial detail; i.e. a surface geometry is provided where both surface and
point geometry is available or where both surface and linear geometry is available.
Considering both the WISE needs and the practical constraints of data availability, it is
recommended that the required positional accuracy for reported data is set to a minimum of
125 metres (corresponding to a scale of 1:250.000) and a maximum of 500 meters
(corresponding to a scale of 1:1.000.000). The positional accuracy should however always be keptas high as possible and ideally be to the same as the national operational datasets.
For more information see Chapter 5.1, WISE GIS guidance document, second edition.
9.2 Spatial representation
Please refer to section 7 for the spatial representation of the different information.
9.3 Coordinate reference system
Data should be delivered in the spheroid coordinates (decimal degrees) in the geodetic datum
ETRS-89 (EPGS code 3035) http://www.epsg-registry.org/) and follow the INSPIRE requirements
for coordinate reference systems (see section 6 of the INSPIRE data specifications).
At national level, a series of different coordinate reference systems is used. It is essential that
conversion from a national coordinate reference system is done with care. If conversion is not
done correctly data will lose positional accuracy. Proper transformation routines have to be
observed.
The National Mapping Agencies (NMA) (or comparable institutions and organisations) have
provided the information for the descriptions of the national Coordinate Reference Systems and
for the transformation parameters between the national Coordinate Reference Systems and the
European Coordinate Reference System ETRS89. Formulae can be requested from the NMAs or
are directly accessible at http://crs.bkg.bund.de/crs-eu/

Appendix 13.3: Guidance on the reporting

44
The transformation between national systems and the European coordinate reference system is
done using the agreed transformation parameters for different countries (see the link above).
9.4 Trans-boundary flood mapping for reported information
Transboundary flood objects should be harmonised with the respective neighbouring countrieswhere applicable. Appendix B of the INSPIRE document D2.6 Methodology for the development
of Data specifications provides recommendation regarding the geometric harmonisation of linear
and polygon features across borders (edge matching).
The hydrographic network data should be edge-matched, reconciled and maintained across state
borders by the respective authorities.
In considering reconciliation across state borders, the respective authorities should seek to fully
resolve the positional alignment that minimises positional deficiencies. Positional deficiencies
require repeated manual interval in updates and/or detract from the use of the data in applications.
Wherever a feature crosses a border it is recommended that the parties holding the source data
for this feature across the border make arrangements for the geometry to be the same across theborder, i.e. that at the same level of detail - no surface geometry meets a point or line geometry.

This guidance does not detail how to set up a WMS using software, but to provide the standard
requirements for a Floods Directive conformant WMS.
11.4 WMS profile
The intention is that there will be several services per Member State. Each service will serve oneor more layers, which may be of different scale and/or of different geographical extent. The WMS
profile sets out a naming mechanism to ensure uniqueness across service names and layer
names, whilst maintaining human readability.
The profile is essentially two parts. The first is the service-level elements and the second part is
the elements which describe the layers.
The following describes the metadata which is required for the service to be compliant with
INSPIRE. The elements would be returned in XML format with a GetCapabilities request on the
service.
It could also be the service is described in a metadata document which is independent of the
service. This metadata structure is described in section 10 of this document. This stand-alonemetadata would be developed for the purposes of Discovery.
11.5 WMS service metadata
11.5.1 WMS service name
For WMS 1.3.0 fixed as 'WMS'
11.5.2 WMS service title
The title is a composite in order to be informative and unique
[ISO country code] [ISO 639 language code]* [Floods hazard maps]
[ISO country code] [ISO 639 language code]* [Floods risk maps]
*the language code is not required if the service is provided in the default language, English.
e.g. DK Flood hazard risk maps
11.5.3 WMS service URL
[ISO country code]_[ISO 639 language code]*_[Floods_hazard_maps]
[ISO country code]_[ISO 639 language code]*_[Floods_risk_maps]
The web service url is based upon the web service title it should be identical except all spaces in
the tile should be substituted with an underscore ('_').
e.g.if ArcGIS Server is providing the service:
http://www.someurl.dk//ArcGIS/services/DK_Flood_hazard_risk_maps/MapServer/WMSServer?

Resource Abstract (M) Flood hazard and risk maps for the purpose of theFloods Directive. Flood hazard maps must show thegeographical area which could be flooded underdifferent probabilities (art. 6.3 of the Directive), whereasflood risk maps must show the potential adverseconsequences of these probabilities (article 6.5 of theDirective). The flood maps must be prepared for thefollowing probabilities: a) floods with low probability, orextreme event; b) flood with a medium probability (likelyreturn period 100 years) c) floods with a highprobability, where appropriate.

11.6 WMS Layer metadata
Floods Directive reporting is layer-level based, rather than service-level based. It is therefore
important to add as much metadata as possible to each of the layers. Even if most of your
metadata is the same for your layers and for your service, you should replicate that data in the
layer metadata.
The layer name and title are composites of certain information
Geographic extent in this context will be the country code or the UoM code

1. Overview
1.1 AbstractThe intention is to disseminate certain aspects of the reported FD Flood Risk Hazard Maps data andinformation via WISE, and where necessary, appropriate and possible, provide links to data and informationfrom other sources such as national flood maps which can provide a higher resolution than WISE which willbe more appropriate for flood mapping purposes (larger scale than 1:250.000).
This chapter describes the proposed European level map. This will be derived from information reported bythe Member States and other European level datasets available, for example from other reporting streamsand INSPIRE.
2. Publishing
2.1 Target publish date2014
2.2 Mapviewer
The target viewer for this map service is:http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/interactive/floods-directive-viewer
The service is also available in EyeOnEarth
3. Data and pre-processing
3.1 Content datasetsFloods Directive - Units of Management, APSFR information previously reported under the Floods Directive
Data reported under the Flood Hazard and Risk Map reporting obligation
Schema:http://icm.eionet.europa.eu/schemas/dir200760ec/resources/FRHMreview/FHRM_2p0.html
MS reported information: to be reported 2014
3.2 Data extractionThe reported information will be extracted from the XML schemas which are to be reported under the FHRMreporting. The FHRM reporting will be of three different probabilities (high, medium and low probability) with
affected population, economic activities and IED installations for each probability. Only medium (and lowprobability where groundwater and/or coastal floods are relevant) will be displayed. Options to click on/offlayers displaying land cover, population, the E-PRTR installations and the WFD protected areas will beavailable.

3.3 Data extraction and processing stepsData will be extracted from the schema for the medium probability (low probability for groundwater and
coastal floods) and aggregated at different levels for visualisation in the viewer i.e prepared for theclassification of UoM and country polygons. An additional layer will be added to show where detailed floodhazard and risk maps are available within MS.
