Hazard areas defined by a Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPRN) for the Côte d'Or department in France. The dataset represents zones exposed to one or more natural hazards, with hazard levels determined by the probability and intensity of dangerous phenomena. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in March 2019.
Use Cases
- Risk zoning for land-use planning based on hazard exposure levels.
- Modeling potential impacts of natural disasters on infrastructure.
- Identifying areas requiring protective structures or specific regulations.
Strengths
- Hazard levels are graduated based on probability and intensity of phenomena.
- Includes areas protected by structures, which are still considered subject to hazard.
- Result of a synthesis using multiple sources of calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data.
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
