Flood Risk Prevention Plan Zoning for the Marne River Sector, France

A regulatory zoning map for the flood risk prevention plan (PPRi) concerning the overflow of the Marne de Vitry-le-François River. The dataset, published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, defines three main categories of zones based on hazard levels and land use. It was last updated on September 23, 2022.

Use Cases

• Assess land development restrictions based on designated 'red' or 'pink' building prohibited areas.
• Plan construction projects subject to specific requirements in 'magenta' or 'blue' hazard zones.
• Identify areas not subject to hazard regulations for general planning purposes based on 'white' zone designations.

Strengths

• Defines three distinct regulatory zone types with clear, enforceable rules.
• Based on a formal French legal framework (Environmental Code L562-1) for natural risk prevention.
• Last update date of 2022-09-23 is explicitly provided.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the data reflects a snapshot from 2022.
