Natural Risk Zoning Hazard Zones for Argenton sur Creuse Agglomeration, Creuse

Hazard zones for the Argenton sur Creuse agglomeration in France, defined by the Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPRN). The dataset, produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM), represents areas exposed to one or more hazards based on a graduated zoning map from a hazard study. It was last updated on April 4, 2019.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood or landslide risk exposure for property development based on the graduated hazard zoning.
• Assessing regulatory building restrictions based on the PPRN hazard zone classifications.
• Integrating hazard data with demographic or infrastructure maps for community resilience planning.
• Validating hazard models by comparing with the official, study-derived zoning boundaries.

Strengths

• Based on a formal hazard study that assesses probability and intensity of phenomena.
• Includes areas protected by structures, representing residual risk from potential failure.
• Produced by the authoritative geological and mining research organization BRGM.

Limitations
