Seine-et-Marne Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) Areas of Concern

A 2019 snapshot of assets and populations considered at risk during the development of Flood Risk Prevention Plans (PPR) in the Seine-et-Marne department of France. The dataset, created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, represents a dated, non-exhaustive inventory of people, property, activities, and environmental heritage vulnerable to flooding. This data is not updated after plan approval and is recalculated as needed with newer sources.

Use Cases

• Mapping historical flood exposure zones based on the documented areas of concern.
• Analyzing the types of assets (people, property, heritage) considered vulnerable in past risk assessments.
• Studying the evolution of land cover and risk perception for comparative analysis with current data.

Strengths

• Data is tied to a specific administrative region (Seine-et-Marne department) and a formal planning process (PPRI).
• Explicitly documents the consideration of multiple stake types: people, property, activities, and cultural/environmental heritage.
• Provides a clear temporal context, representing a 'photograph' of issues at the time of the RPP study.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019-04-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• The description states the data is 'not exhaustive' and is no longer updated in practice, being recalculated with newer sources.
