Overstromingsgevoelige gebieden vanuit de zee
What this layer shows
Areas in the coastal zone that, according to the VMM model, flood from the sea, used in the watertoets and the informatieplicht since 1 January 2023. The polygons carry no name, and class B, C or D comes through as a numeric code without text, so the map shows all classes together. Outside the coastal zone this map gives no results, which does not mean that there is no other flood risk.
