Geospatial data from Risk Prevention Plans (PPRs) for the Orne department in France, standardized under the COVADIS framework. The dataset includes regulatory zoning, hazard intensity mapping, and identified issues related to eight natural and four technological risks. The data was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in April 2019.
Use Cases
- Land-use planning and zoning based on regulatory maps delimiting hazard areas.
- Multi-hazard risk assessment based on mapped intensity levels for floods, earthquakes, and industrial risks.
- Analyzing spatial overlap of issues and hazards for targeted prevention strategies.
Strengths
- Data follows a standardized COVADIS specification for homogeneous storage across ministries.
- Covers a defined scope of 8 natural and 4 technological major risks as per French law.
- Contains three structured categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard documents, and issue maps.
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-04-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
