Plan for the Prevention of Natural Hazards (PPRN) for Prades Municipality

A February 2024 data package from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) provides geospatial data for the Risk Prevention Plan (PPRN) of the municipality of Prades. The plan, established under French law, addresses eight main natural hazards including floods, earthquakes, and forest fires. The data standard aims for homogeneous storage of geographical regulatory and hazard information.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulatory zones with specific construction requirements based on hazard levels mentioned in the description
• Analyzing spatial distribution of multiple natural hazards like floods and earthquakes referenced in the plan
• Integrating risk prevention data with other land-use datasets for ministries responsible for agriculture and ecology

Strengths

• Data conforms to the COVADIS standard for digital storage of geographical data in risk prevention plans
• Covers eight main natural hazards as defined by French national policy
• Last updated on February 13, 2024

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The standard does not model the complete risk prevention plan dossier, focusing only on geographical data
