Service Description: Proportion of the population living in flood risk areas in the European cities included in Urban Audit (city statistics) was calculated based on the 1km grid population data (Geostat 2011) and the potential floodplains. The potential floodplain captures the area that could be flooded during a flood event with a return period of one in 100 years, as well as the river area. It was derived by adding two spatial layers: 1) JRC flood hazard map for Europe 100-year return period (JRC, 2016), based on LISFLOOD model results (Burek et al., 2013) and Copernicus Potential Riparian Zone layer from the dataset: Delineation of Riparian Zone.. The map provides an European overivew of the number of people living in cities whi may be at risk of flooding and emphasises the need to adapt.
