The Ministry of Public Security (MSP) supports the development of knowledge of flood risks. In collaboration with Laval University and the Reunification of Quebec Basin Organizations, the MSP has developed a methodical and rigorous process for documenting floods that have an impact on the safety of people and essential goods. Thus, since 2017, the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) has been acquiring in certain cases data related to the water level reached when floods with proven consequences occur in southern Quebec. Maximum water levels are indicated by flood overflows. __What is a flood wasteland? __ A flood (flood) is characterized by a rise in water on land that is usually dry, the reaching of a peak, then a descent of water (decline). Waste forms at the beginning of the flood when the water, when withdrawing, deposits materials that were in suspension or floating. These materials (mud, seeds, twigs and other debris) constitute flood wastes or flood plains. __Marking and surveying flood plains and water levels__ The marking of floodplains and water levels takes place on the ground shortly after the peak of the flood. The physical indices of the maximum water level reached (abandoned by the flood) or of the current water levels are identified and marked using permanent markers (markers). Afterwards, a land surveyor will precisely record the location and the altitude of the markers. __Point dataset “Water levels during a flood"__ The “Water levels during a flood” data set contains, for each marker, the date, altitude and location (measured by a land surveyor). There are two main types of observations made in the field: the natural flood defect (line of mud, seeds or trace of water) which indicates the maximum water level reached during the flood (called MAX) and the water level observed during the field visit (called CURRENT). The list of all attributes is provided in the dataset description sheet (Additional Information section). Despite the quality of the work carried out, the Ministry of Public Security cannot guarantee the absence of errors in the data. __Related datasets__ The “Flood markers” dataset produced by the Ministry of Public Security also contains maximum water levels reached during a flood. The link to this dataset is provided in the _Documentation_ section.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This metadataset was compiled to document scientific dive operations conducted within the Banc-des-Américains Marine Protected Area (MPA). Its purpose is to enable the tracking of field activities carried out as part of ecological monitoring of the atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) habitats and other key species. Metadata were collected for each scientific dive, following a standardized protocol implemented since 2014 that includes the date, participating team, GPS coordinates, depth, and dive duration. The released dataset contains only descriptive and contextual information related to each dive operation: dive identifier, site, date, location, conditions of execution, method used, and environmental variables when recorded. It does not include photographs, videos, raw biological observations, or analysis results. Quality control involves standardization of the metadata form, verification of GPS positions and recorded depths, as well as annual internal review of the dive series by the scientific coordination team. Established procedures ensure the completeness, consistency, and traceability of the descriptive data provided.

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. The mapping of __infrastructures in a forest environment__ corresponds to the forest territory from which trees have been subtracted for the purpose of installing infrastructure, for example to establish energy transmission lines, agricultural areas or hydroelectric reservoirs, or even for purposes distinct from forest harvesting. The areas contained in this map date back to 2003. This map covers almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. The information constituting it comes from various sources. For example, the Quebec Topographic Database is used to map the discharge of hydroelectric reservoirs. The minimum mapping area is 0.1 ha. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Every year, since 1967, the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) has been conducting an aerial survey of damage caused by the main insects and diseases that attack trees. This fact sheet focuses exclusively on data on damage caused by spruce budworm (TBE). The aerial survey is carried out in sectors previously determined according to the damage of the previous year and the results of inventories to predict the populations of this insect. From 2013 to 2022, the DPF acquired aerial survey videos to obtain additional observer data. Since 2023, high-resolution geotagged images have replaced videos.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Ministry of Education (MEQ) calculates two deprivation indices annually for the 69 school service centers and linguistic school boards, namely: • the Socio-Economic Environment Index (IMSE), which consists of the proportion of families with children whose mothers do not have a diploma, certificate or degree (representing two-thirds of the weight of the index) and the proportion of households whose parents were not employed during the reference week of the Canadian census (which represents a third of the weight of the index). • the Low Income Threshold Index (LFR) corresponds to the proportion of families with children whose income is close to or below the low income threshold. The low-income cut-off is defined as the income level at which families are estimated to spend 20% more than the overall average on food, housing, and clothing. It provides information that is used to estimate the proportion of families whose incomes can be considered low, taking into account the size of the family and the environment of residence (rural region, small urban area, large agglomeration, etc.). For the 2024-2025 school year, the socio-economic data used are extracted from the 2016 Canadian census and relate to the situation of Quebec families with at least one child aged 0 to 18. Depending on their geographical position, these families are grouped together in one of the 3,680 settlement units established by the Ministry. The annual school indices are grouped in decimal rank in order to locate the relative position of the school among all public schools, for primary and secondary education. Note that schools may include more than one school building, that no index is calculated for school boards with special status (Cree, Kativik and Littoral) and that only schools with 30 students or more are selected (without an MEQ-MSSS agreement). For the school year 2024-2025, 689 primary schools and 194 secondary schools are in deciles 8, 9 or 10 according to the IMSE index and make up the group of schools said to be in more disadvantaged areas. These schools respectively welcome a total of 158,176 and 116,843 students, representing 30% of the public network for each of these two levels of education. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
