PPR RGA Gée-Rivière: French Risk Prevention Plan Geospatial Data

A 2020 geospatial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) detailing risk prevention plans (RPPs). These plans are mandated by the Law of 22 July 1987 on civil security and major risk prevention. The data conforms to the COVADIS standard for the digital storage of geographical information used in RPPs.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood or fire risk zones based on the geographical data from risk prevention plans.
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for development in areas covered by state-mandated risk plans.
• Integrating standardized risk data into regional or national environmental information systems.

Strengths

• Data conforms to the official COVADIS national standard for geographical data storage.
• Dataset is associated with a specific, legally defined framework (Law of 22 July 1987).
• Produced by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).

Limitations

• Last updated 2020-10-16 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
