Description: The Floods Directive (FD) was introduced in November 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060), partly in response to the large floods along the Danube and Elbe rivers in the summer of 2002 and partly in response to mounting evidence that socioeconomic development and climate change increase the chances that floods in Europe could become more catastrophic and frequent. The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. The Directive covers all types of floods, including fluvial, pluvial, coastal and groundwater floods as well as floods from artificial water-bearing infrastructure and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).
