• Analyzing spatial distribution of natural hazards like floods and avalanches
• Integrating hazard intensity maps for multi-risk assessment studies
• Standardizing geographic data storage for cross-departmental risk management

Strengths

• Plan is officially approved by the state, providing regulatory authority
• Data conforms to the COVADIS standard, ensuring interoperability across ministries
• Covers eight main natural risks and four technological risks as defined nationally

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
