Abstract

According to the Ministry of Ecological and Social Transition, "a potentially dangerous event, a hazard, is only a risk if it applies to an area where human, economic or environmental issues are at stake"1. Uncertainties concern the measurement of flow rates (sometimes more than a century of measurements), the choice of the statistical model that enables reference flows for simulated floods (Bernardara et al., 2005; Barroca et al., 2015) to be identified on the basis of measurements, and uncertainties in land morphology. [...]climate change such as the evolution of catchment soils - soil sealing, changes in forest areas and agricultural land, etc. - all participate in transforming the flows of water-courses during rainfall events, information that did not appear in the historical data used to identify reference flood flows. [...]preventive measures apply either to structures and shapes (and in this case, they are of a technical nature: reinforcement of structures, anti-flood doors, cofferdam installations, etc.), or to the flooded zone (and in this case they are generally organizational and are established by crisis management and continuity plans, etc.). [...]buildings were designed to be easily accessible to rescue boats. [...]contrary to an elaborate form of protection for a single water threshold, the neighborhood's design consisted of studying according to what urban, technical, morphological, programmatic and social configurations its resilience could be imagined for frequent to very rare events.
