Abstract
The pilot project on the Yeumbeul Nord Commune faced unavailability of spatialized data, without which a flood analysis could not be done. Therefore, the approaches and tools used for the territorialisation of the project included co-construction of basic maps, localization in the Global Positioning System and use of the geographic information system (GIS).
