Map Viewing Service (WMS) of the dataset: Surface issues taken into account in the PPRN fl

A 2021 geospatial dataset from the French Geological Survey (BRGM) identifies assets and individuals exposed to flooding along the Charente River in Dompierre-sur-Charente. It represents a dated, non-exhaustive snapshot of land cover and vulnerabilities used for developing a Risk Prevention Plan (PPR). The data is not updated after the plan's approval and is recalculated as needed with newer sources.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood-exposed assets based on the described land cover analysis.
• Assessing vulnerability of people and property to river flooding as defined in the description.
• Supporting historical analysis of risk prevention plan development for the Charente River.
• Studying the temporal snapshot of environmental and cultural heritage elements threatened by hazards.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative French Geological Survey (BRGM).
• Provides a specific geographic focus on the commune of Dompierre-sur-Charente.
• Explicitly documents its nature as a dated, non-exhaustive snapshot for plan development.

Limitations

• Last updated 2021-09-17 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
