4. Reporting - testing phase

5. Visualisation Information basis (art 4)
Past or potential future flood – examples of visualisation

6. Visualisation art 5
- Which assessment is used - Areas of potential significant flood risk APSFR (art 5)
– examples of visualisation

7. Flood Hazard and Flood Risk maps (art 6)
Reporting deadline
Reporting sheets approved in November 2010.
Schemas, GIS Guidance, tools to be issued to the FDRDG end of April, for written comments until the next meeting
One first round of testing fore seen over the summer.
This step is expected to be more technically complex than previous reporting steps, so an early start to develop technical formats foreseen.
The role of INSPIRE obligations will be important and will be taken into account in this process.

8. Flood Risk Management Plans – reporting sheet
Reporting deadline
Flood Risk Management Plan Reporting Sheet Version 9 submitted to FDRDG 8 (16.2)
Further consideration of appropriate links with WFD reporting deemed necessary in 2011:
