Carentan Coastal Risk Prevention Plan: Regulatory Zoning and Hazard Mapping

A 2019 geospatial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, implementing the COVADIS standard for Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs). It contains regulatory zoning and hazard mapping for the Carentan area, addressing coastal and other major natural and technological risks. The data standard is designed for homogeneous storage and use across multiple government ministries.

Use Cases

• Delineating regulated land-use zones based on the described regulatory mapping for coastal hazards.
• Modeling exposure to specific hazards like floods or coastal erosion using the referenced hazard intensity maps.
• Identifying and mapping critical infrastructure and other issues mentioned as part of the RPP annexes.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized national data model (COVADIS) for consistency across plans.
• Covers multiple hazard types, including the eight main natural and four technological risks defined in French law.
• Contains three defined categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard mapping, and issues.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
