COVADIS data standard provides specifications for storing geographical data from French Risk Prevention Plans (PPRs). The plans address eight natural hazards and four technological risks, established under laws from 1995 and 1987. This specific dataset covers the approved plan for Cranves-Sales, Haute-Savoie, from 2016.
Use Cases
- Mapping regulatory zones for land-use restrictions based on hazard levels described in the plan.
- Analyzing multi-hazard exposure for a specific municipality based on the plan's hazard documents.
- Standardizing the storage and exchange of PPR geographical data across ministries as described by the COVADIS standard.
Strengths
- Based on a national data standard (COVADIS) designed for interoperability across ministries.
- Covers a defined set of twelve major risks, including eight natural and four technological hazards.
- Plan was officially approved by the Prefect on 01/12/2016, providing a regulatory basis.
Limitations
