Indre River Natural Risk Prevention Plan: Regulatory Zoning and Hazard Mapping

A 2019 geospatial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières detailing the Natural Risk Prevention Plan (NRPP) for the Indre River area outside the Castelroussine agglomeration. It is based on the COVADIS standard for storing geographical data from risk prevention plans, which cover natural hazards like floods and earthquakes. The data likely contains regulatory zoning maps, hazard intensity documents, and maps of identified issues.

Use Cases

• Delineating regulated land-use zones based on the described regulatory mapping for hazard levels.
• Modeling flood or terrain movement risks using the described hazard intensity maps.
• Assessing exposure of infrastructure or populations based on the described maps of identified issues.
• Standardizing PPR data storage across ministries using the described COVADIS data standard.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized national framework (COVADIS data standard) for consistency.
• Covers multiple major natural hazards, including the eight main types foreseeable in France.
• Contains three defined categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard documents, and issue maps.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
