PPR ARUDY: Natural Hazard Prevention Plan for Arudy Municipality

A 2019 geospatial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières detailing the Plan for the Prevention of Natural Hazards (PPRN) for the municipality of Arudy in Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The dataset follows the COVADIS standard for storing spatial data from risk prevention plans, which include regulatory zoning maps, hazard intensity documents, and maps of identified issues. It covers risks such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, and forest fires.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulatory zones for land-use restrictions based on hazard levels described in the plan.
• Analyzing spatial distribution of specific natural hazards like floods or landslides based on hazard documents.
• Identifying vulnerable assets and infrastructure based on maps of issues annexed to the plan.
• Standardizing storage and comparison of PPR data across different municipalities using the COVADIS data standard.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized COVADIS data specification for risk prevention plans.
• Covers eight main natural risks and four technological risks as defined nationally.
• Includes three categories of structured information: regulatory zoning, hazard documents, and issue maps.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2019-03-26; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
