Data batch direct download service (WFS): Arrenthon Natural Hazard Prevention Plan (Haute-

COVADIS data standard provides specifications for storing geographical data from French Risk Prevention Plans (PPRs). The dataset for the Arrenthon PPR, approved on 19/11/2001, contains regulatory zoning, hazard intensity maps, and identified issues for the Haute-Savoie area. The standard is managed by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) for use across ministries responsible for agriculture, ecology, and sustainable development.

Use Cases

• Delineating regulated land-use zones based on the described regulatory mapping for hazard exposure.
• Modeling flood or avalanche risk based on the hazard intensity levels documented in the plan.
• Identifying critical infrastructure and assets based on the maps of issues annexed to the plan.
• Standardizing the storage and exchange of PPR geographical data across different government departments.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized national data model (COVADIS) for risk prevention plans.
• Contains three defined categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard maps, and identified issues.
• Approved by a prefectural decree on a specific date (19/11/2001).

Limitations
