PPR RGA Troncens: 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). The data supports the legal framework for civil security and major risk prevention established by the Law of 22 July 1987. Development and maintenance of these plans are the responsibility of the French State, coordinated by regional Prefects.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood or fire hazard zones based on the technical specifications of Risk Prevention Plans.
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for development permits based on the geographical data represented in the RPPs.
• Supporting civil security planning and response based on the organizational specifications for digital storage of risk data.

Strengths

• Data conforms to the official COVADIS standard for digital storage of geographical risk data.
• Serves a defined legal purpose under the French Law of 22 July 1987 on civil security and major risk prevention.
