PPRI du Noireau et de la Vère: Flood Hazard Zones in Orne, France

Hazard zones for the Noireau and Vère river flood risk prevention plan (PPR) in the Orne department of France. The dataset represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, as defined by a hazard map resulting from a study assessing the probability and intensity of dangerous phenomena. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on August 4, 2020.

Use Cases

• Risk assessment modeling based on hazard probability and intensity levels
• Land-use and development planning based on regulatory hazard zoning
• Identifying areas protected by structures that are still considered subject to hazard
• Comparing hazard levels across different zones within the study perimeter

Strengths

• Based on a formal hazard study assessing probability and intensity of phenomena
• Includes areas protected by structures, accounting for potential failure
• Published by the authoritative geological and mining research bureau (BRGM)

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Last updated 2020-08-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
