Granville Land Movement Risk Prevention Plan: Regulatory Zoning Maps

The COVADIS standard for Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs) includes specifications for storing geographical data related to major risks. RPPs, established by French law in 1995, contain regulatory maps delimiting hazard zones and associated land-use regulations. The data is managed by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated in April 2019.

Use Cases

• Delineating regulated hazard zones based on the described regulatory mapping.
• Assessing multi-hazard exposure for a location based on the eight natural and four technological risks listed.
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for development planning based on the described zoning plans and easements.

Strengths

• Based on a formal national data standard (COVADIS) for risk prevention plans.
• Covers a defined set of 12 major natural and technological hazards.
• Includes regulatory mapping that imposes specific land-use requirements.

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.
