PPR Pardies-Pistate: Flood Hazard Zones in Pyrenees-Atlantiques, France

Hazard zones for the Pardies-Pistate Flood Prevention Plan (PPR) in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department of France. The dataset represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, with zoning graduated according to hazard intensity and probability. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on 2019-03-26.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood risk exposure based on hazard zoning described in the PPR.
• Analyzing hazard intensity and probability for land-use planning based on the described graduated zoning.
• Identifying areas protected by structures but still considered subject to hazard for contingency planning.
• Comparing 'no or insignificant hazard zones' against regulated prescribing areas for regulatory compliance.

Strengths

• Based on a synthesis of multiple sources of calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data.
• Includes areas protected by structures, representing them in a specific way as required.
• Hazard zoning is graduated according to the level of hazard, providing a risk scale.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-26; freshness should be verified.
• Data is described as informative and not enforceable against third parties.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
