Hazard Zone of the PPRi MEUSE: Flood Risk Zoning Map

Hazard zones for the Meuse River area represent areas exposed to one or more hazards, as defined for flood risk prevention plans (PPRi). The hazard map results from a study assessing the intensity and probability of occurrence of dangerous phenomena at any point in the study area. The dataset was last updated on June 8, 2021, by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.

Use Cases

• Assess flood risk for property development based on hazard intensity zoning.
• Model potential damage from river flooding based on hazard probability and intensity.
• Plan land-use regulations and emergency response strategies based on graduated hazard zones.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of protective structures, considering their potential failure.

Strengths

• Hazard zones are graduated according to level of hazard, providing a nuanced risk assessment.
• Areas protected by structures are included, accounting for potential structural failure.
• The dataset is based on a synthesis of multiple sources of calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2021-06-08 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
