Montdidier Risk Prevention Plan: Regulatory Zoning and Hazard Maps

The COVADIS data standard provides specifications for storing geographical data from French Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs). RPPs, established under the Law of 2 February 1995, contain regulatory zoning maps, hazard intensity maps, and maps of identified issues for areas exposed to major risks. This dataset, published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, implements this standard for the Montdidier area.

Use Cases

• Analyze regulatory land-use restrictions based on hazard zoning maps mentioned in the description
• Model multi-risk exposure for urban planning based on the described hazard intensity levels
• Cross-reference hazard maps with infrastructure data based on the described maps of identified issues

Strengths

• Data follows a standardized national specification (COVADIS) for consistency
• Covers eight natural hazards and four technological risks as defined in the description
• Includes three defined categories of information: regulatory mapping, hazard documents, and issue maps

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Last updated 2019-03-25; freshness should be verified
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
