PPR Lescun: Flood Hazard Zones for the Lescun Plan, Pyrenees-Atlantiques

Pyrenees-Atlantiques department in France contains hazard zones for the Lescun Flood Prevention Plan (PPR). The dataset represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, as defined on the official hazard map used for risk analysis. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on 2019-03-26.

Use Cases

• Risk assessment modeling based on hazard intensity and probability levels described in the metadata.
• Land-use planning and zoning based on the graduated hazard areas defined in the plan.
• Integrating hazard data with other geospatial layers for multi-risk analysis, as the description mentions multi-hazard PPRs.
• Evaluating the impact of protective structures, as areas behind them are included as potentially subject to hazard.

Strengths

• Data is based on a synthesis of multiple hazard data sources, as described.
• Includes areas protected by structures, which are considered in the hazard analysis.
• Last update date is explicitly provided: 2019-03 26.

Limitations

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