A 2019 geospatial dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières detailing the flood risk prevention plan for the Sée river basin. The data conforms to the COVADIS standard for storing geographical information from Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs), which include regulatory zoning, hazard maps, and identified issues. The plan was established under French laws from 1987 and 1995.
Use Cases
- Mapping regulatory zones with specific building requirements based on hazard levels described in the plan.
- Analyzing flood hazard intensity levels across the basin using the hazard documents referenced.
- Identifying vulnerable assets and infrastructure (issues) for risk assessment and emergency planning.
- Standardizing storage and exchange of RPP geographical data between ministries responsible for agriculture and ecology.
Strengths
- Based on a standardized national data model (COVADIS) for risk prevention plans.
- Covers three core categories of information: regulatory mapping, hazard documents, and identified issues.
- Applicable to multiple hazard types including the eight main natural risks and four technological risks listed.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2019-04-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
