Risk Prevention Plan Ear Flood — Branges: French Hazard Zoning Data

The COVADIS data standard provides specifications for storing geographical data from French Risk Prevention Plans (PPRs). These plans, established by the 1995 Act on environmental protection, address eight natural hazards and four technological risks. The dataset likely contains regulatory zoning maps, hazard intensity maps, and maps of identified issues for the Ear Flood area in Branges.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood-prone areas for land-use planning based on the regulatory zoning described.
• Analyzing multi-hazard exposure for a region based on the eight natural and four technological risks covered.
• Assessing the impact of hazard regulations on development based on the described easements and requirements.
• Integrating standardized hazard data into environmental ministry workflows based on the COVADIS standard's purpose.

Strengths

• Based on a national legal framework (Act of 2 February 1995) and a standardized data model (COVADIS).
• Covers a defined set of 12 major risks (8 natural, 4 technological) as described.
• Designed for interoperability across ministries responsible for agriculture and ecology.
