PPRI Hazard Zones for Chuini and Esigna Watersheds in Cargèse

A hazard map delineates areas exposed to flood risk within the Chuini and Esigna watersheds in the municipality of Cargèse. The map resulted from a study by BCEOM in December 1999, updated in 2006, and led to the first PPRI approved on 25/08/2008. Hazard levels are graduated based on the probability and intensity of dangerous phenomena, including areas behind protective structures.

Use Cases

• Assess flood exposure for property development based on the graduated hazard zoning.
• Model potential damage scenarios based on hazard probability and intensity levels.
• Plan emergency response and protective infrastructure based on areas behind structures considered at risk.
• Integrate hazard data into broader environmental risk analyses for the Corsican watersheds.

Strengths

• Based on a specific flood risk study conducted by BCEOM in December 1999 and updated in 2006.
• Represents a formal regulatory instrument (PPRI) approved on 25/08/2008.
• Hazard zoning methodology considers both probability of occurrence and intensity of phenomena.

Limitations

• Underlying source data for hazard calculations and models are not included in this dataset.
• Last updated 2022-06-02 00:00:00; the hazard assessment may not reflect recent environmental changes.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
