Flood hazard HQ100

The data set presents the risk to the rail infrastructure due to floods in a spatially differentiated HQ100 event. This product of flood hazard is the result of the research and projects of the Federal Railway Office in the context of the work of the BMDV expert network in the field of climate change consequences and adaptation (bmdv-expert network.de). The factual information and hazards shall be provided exclusively for the area of rail infrastructure. Data base for this is the data set ‘geo-route’ (as of 01/2017), which is provided by Deutsche Bahn (DB) under the license Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) (http://data.deutschebahn.com/dataset/geo-strecke). Shown are the sections of the federal rail network affected by a HQ100, derived from the digital flood hazard maps of the Länder (see Directive 2007/60/EC). The attribute “HQ100” has been added and is divided into two classes: “0” not within designated HQ100 areas and “1” within designated HQ100 areas.
