PPRN: Natural Hazard Prevention Plan for La Bastide-de-Sérou, France

A 2021 geospatial dataset from the French Geological Survey (BRGM) detailing the municipal Plan for the Prevention of Natural Hazards (PPRN) for La Bastide-de-Sérou. The data standardizes geographical information for risk prevention, including regulatory zoning, hazard intensity maps, and identified assets. It is part of the national COVADIS standard for managing data related to major natural and technological risks.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulatory land-use zones based on hazard exposure levels described in the plan.
• Analyzing spatial distribution of natural hazards like floods or forest fires for the municipality.
• Identifying and visualizing critical assets and infrastructure mentioned as 'issues' in the risk assessment.
• Cross-referencing hazard intensity levels with geographical features for environmental modeling.

Strengths

• Data conforms to the national COVADIS standard, promoting interoperability across French risk prevention plans.
• Covers multiple hazard types including floods, earthquakes, forest fires, and terrain movements as defined in the description.
• Includes three standardized categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard maps, and identified assets.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2021-09-16 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
