COVADIS data standard for risk prevention plans provides specifications for storing geographical data from French regulatory plans. The standard covers eight natural hazards, including floods, and four technological risks. This specific dataset, last updated in 2019, focuses on flood risk for the Vitry-le-François area in the Marne department.
Use Cases
- Delineate regulatory zones for land-use restrictions based on the hazard mapping described.
- Analyze flood hazard intensity levels for the Marne-Blaise sector using the plan's hazard documents.
- Identify at-risk assets and infrastructure based on the 'issues' mapping mentioned in the description.
- Standardize storage of PPR geographical data across ministries as per the COVADIS framework.
Strengths
- Based on a standardized national framework (COVADIS) for consistency across plans.
- Explicitly covers eight natural and four technological risk categories as defined by French law.
- Contains three defined information categories: regulatory mapping, hazard documents, and issues.
Limitations
