PPR RGA Belmont: French Risk Prevention Plan Geospatial Data

The COVADIS data standard for risk prevention plans includes technical specifications for the digital storage of geographical data represented in the risk prevention plans (RPPs). The PPR tool is part of the Law of 22 July 1987 on the organisation of civil security, the protection of the forest against fire and the prevention of major risks. The development of an RPP is the responsibility of the State and is decided by the Prefect.
