Risk Prevention Plan PPRN: Field Movement Data for Boischaut Nord, France

A 2020 dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) containing geographical data for a Risk Prevention Plan (PPR). The data standardizes the storage of regulatory zoning, hazard intensity maps, and identified issues related to major natural and technological risks. It was established under French laws from 1987 and 1995.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulatory zoning for land-use restrictions based on hazard levels described in the plan.
• Analyzing spatial patterns of hazard intensity for risks like terrain movements or floods mentioned in the description.
• Identifying and visualizing critical infrastructure or environmental issues annexed to the risk prevention plan.

Strengths

• Data conforms to the COVADIS national standard for homogeneous storage of PPR geographical data.
• Scope covers multiple major natural hazards (e.g., floods, earthquakes, forest fires) and technological risks as defined by French law.
• Produced by the authoritative geological and mining research organization BRGM.
