COVADIS data standard for storing spatial data from French Risk Prevention Plans (PPRs). The standard covers eight natural hazards and four technological risks, with information categorized into regulatory zoning, hazard intensity maps, and identified issues. This specific dataset pertains to the Tercis-les-Bains commune in the Landes department, last updated by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières in September 2021.
Use Cases
- Assess land development restrictions based on regulatory zoning maps.
- Model exposure to specific hazards like floods or forest fires based on hazard intensity documents.
- Identify critical infrastructure and other issues within risk-prone areas.
- Standardize and compare risk prevention data across different French communes.
Strengths
- Based on a standardized national data model (COVADIS) designed for interoperability.
- Covers a defined set of 12 major natural and technological risks.
- Includes three structured categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard maps, and issues.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2021-09-17 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
