Flood Risk Prevention Plans for Five Catchment Areas in France

A July 2021 data batch from the French geological survey (BRGM) containing geographical data for Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs). The data follows the COVADIS standard for storing regulatory maps, hazard documents, and issue maps related to major natural and technological risks. It specifically covers the catchment areas of San Remedio, La Madunuccia, Arbitrone, Valle Maggiore, and Vallon de Saint Joseph.

Use Cases

• Delineate regulated zones for construction based on the regulatory mapping described.
• Analyze hazard intensity levels for flood risk using the hazard documents referenced.
• Identify assets and infrastructure at risk based on the maps of issues mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data adheres to the COVADIS national standard for risk prevention plan data, promoting interoperability.
• Covers multiple risk types, including eight main natural hazards and four technological risks as defined in the standard.
• Explicitly includes three categories of information: regulatory mapping, hazard documents, and issue maps.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2021-07-20 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
