The COVADIS data standard for risk prevention plans provides specifications for storing geographical data from French Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs). These plans, established under the Act of 2 February 1995, map regulatory zones, hazards, and issues for natural and technological risks. This specific dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières covers the Marignier area in Haute-Savoie, approved on 18 June 2009.
Use Cases
- Delineating regulated land-use zones based on the regulatory mapping described.
- Assessing multi-hazard exposure by overlaying hazard intensity maps referenced in the description.
- Identifying critical infrastructure and assets using the 'issues' maps mentioned.
- Standardizing storage and exchange of PPR data across government ministries as per the COVADIS standard.
Strengths
- Based on a formal national standard (COVADIS) for data interoperability.
- Explicitly covers multiple natural hazards (floods, earthquakes, avalanches, etc.) and technological risks.
- Contains three defined categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard mapping, and issues.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
