PPR RGA Betous: French Risk Prevention Plan Geospatial Data

A 2020 geospatial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, implementing the COVADIS standard for Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs).

• Analyzing the implementation of the 1987 civil security law across different French regions.

Strengths

• Based on the standardized COVADIS data specification for digital storage.
• Supports a specific legal framework (Law of 22 July 1987) for civil security and risk prevention.
• Produced by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).
