Flood Directive 2019 II Cycle — Emilia-Romagna Region — Rhine Basin, risk, polygonal geometry

The cartography represents the elements at risk with POLYGONAL geometry that may suffer potential negative consequences from floods in relation to the United of Management (UoM) Reno basin (ITI021), in the portion falling in the Emilia-Romagna Region, expressed in terms of: economic and social activities that insist on the area, plants that could cause accidental pollution in case of floods, structures and strategic infrastructure (cemeteries, technological plants — ref. Legislative Decree 59/2005 and Legislative Decree 152/2006 -, port areas, sports areas, dams, camping sites, tourist facilities), urbanised areas (residential fabric), productive activities (industrial settlements, arable land, crops, bathing establishments), cultural heritage (wooden areas, parks, gardens, natural areas) etc. The developed risk map responds to two different approaches: according to the requirements of Directive 2007/60/EC (Article 6), it indicates the presence and location of the elements exposed within the areas with different flood hazards identified in the hazard maps, distinct in some codified categories; according to the requirements of Legislative Decree 49/2010, combining the probability of flooding with the vulnerability to flood phenomena and with the value of the exposed elements, it classifies the territory into 4 risk classes, R1 (moderate), R2 (medium), R3 (high), R4 (very high), pursuant to D.P.C.M. 29 September 1998.
