PPRN: Natural Hazard Prevention Plan for Municipality of Quie

The Plan for the Prevention of Natural Hazards (PPRN) dataset for the municipality of Quie follows the COVADIS standard for storing spatial data from risk prevention plans. The standard covers eight main natural risks, including floods, earthquakes, and forest fires, and is based on French laws from 1995 and 1987. The data, last updated on February 13, 2024, is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulatory zones for land-use restrictions based on hazard levels.
• Analyzing spatial hazard intensity for flood or earthquake risk.
• Identifying vulnerable assets and infrastructure based on annexed issue maps.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized national data specification (COVADIS) for consistency.
• Covers eight defined natural hazards, providing a multi-risk framework.
