IGN publishes its first flood risk map: how to effectively protect your home

On September 9, the National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN) unveiled its first detailed map of flood risks in France . One in four French people now lives in an area exposed to this natural phenomenon, which remains the main climate hazard in our country. With global warming, the frequency and intensity of floods are increasing.

Unprecedented mapping to better understand risks

This new 3D map, developed using field surveys, satellite images and artificial intelligence, provides a clear view of how rainfall flows across the country.

The Mediterranean coast and the Loire Valley are among the most exposed areas. The Pointe de Penmarch (Finistère) is particularly affected by marine submersion by 2100. River overflows, flash floods, and mudslides are expected to intensify.

The goal of this mapping? To enable individuals, communities, and businesses to identify flood risks and adapt their waterway and development management. But beyond this knowledge, one question remains: how can everyone protect themselves in practical terms?

“It doesn’t only happen to other people”: anticipate and protect your home

Experience shows that neglecting flood preparedness can be very costly : damages worth thousands of euros, the loss of valuables, and stress that can be difficult to manage. However, with simple and affordable measures, it is possible to significantly limit the damage.

It is precisely to meet this need that we have designed OBLOC® , an innovative range of flood protection.
