PPR RGA Loubersan: French Risk Prevention Plan Geospatial Data

The COVADIS standard defines specifications for storing geographical data used in Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs). This dataset, managed by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, is part of a legal framework established by the French Law of 22 July 1987. The development of an RPP is the responsibility of the French State and is decided by the Prefect.

Use Cases

• Analyzing land-use restrictions for development based on risk prevention plan boundaries.
• Supporting civil security planning based on the legal framework for major risks.
• Integrating standardized geospatial data for regional environmental assessments.
