PPRi Risk Prevention Plan for the Somme Valley and Its Tributaries

The COVADIS data standard for risk prevention plans provides specifications for storing geographical data from risk prevention plans (RPPs). The dataset, published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, covers the Somme Valley area and includes regulatory zoning, hazard mapping, and identified issues. It was last updated on March 25, 2019.

Use Cases

• Assess flood risk exposure based on regulatory zoning maps.
• Model multi-hazard scenarios using mapped hazard intensity levels.
• Plan land development based on area-specific regulations and hazard easements.
• Integrate natural and technological risk data for comprehensive regional safety studies.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized national data model (COVADIS) for consistency.
• Covers eight main natural hazards and four technological risks as defined by French law.
• Includes three core categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard documents, and maps of identified issues.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019-03-25 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
