Archamps Natural Risk Prevention Plan: Approved 2018 Geospatial Data

Approved on 11 April 2018, this dataset contains geospatial information from the Archamps Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPR) in Haute-Savoie, France. It is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and follows the COVADIS data standard for storing geographical data from risk prevention plans. The data standard covers information related to natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, and avalanches.

Use Cases

• Delineate regulated land-use zones based on the regulatory mapping for hazard exposure levels.
• Map hazard intensity levels for specific natural risks like floods or terrain movements using the hazard documents.
• Identify and analyze human and environmental assets (issues) at risk within the study area.
• Standardize storage and exchange of PPR geographical data across different government ministries.

Strengths

• Follows the standardized COVADIS data specification for risk prevention plan data, promoting interoperability.
• Contains three defined categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard mapping, and identified issues.
• Covers multiple natural hazards, including the eight main foreseeable hazards in the French national territory.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019-08-20 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
