PPR ASASP-ARROS: Flood Hazard Zones for the Pyrénées-Atlantiques Department

Hazard zones for the ASASP-ARROS flood prevention plan in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of France. The data represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, as defined by a study assessing the probability and intensity of dangerous phenomena. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in March 2019.

Use Cases

• Risk assessment modeling based on hazard probability and intensity levels described in the metadata.
• Land-use planning and zoning based on the graduated hazard levels for different areas.
• Integrating hazard zones into geographic information systems for emergency preparedness.
• Analyzing the impact of protective structures on hazard exposure, as they are represented in the data.

Strengths

• Data is based on a formal hazard study that synthesizes multiple sources of calculated, modeled, or observed data.
• Includes areas protected by structures, which are considered subject to hazard.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided as 2019-03-26.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019-03-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
