PPRI 2013 Dordogne Basin Flood Hazard Classes for 15 Municipalities

15 municipalities in the Corrèze department of France are covered by this dataset, which classifies flood hazard zones based on a hydrological model. The data was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and approved on October 30, 2013. It categorizes land into red (non-constructible), dark blue (constructible under conditions for economic activities), and blue (constructible under conditions) zones to prevent risk to people and property.

Use Cases

• Assess land constructibility for development permits based on flood hazard classes.
• Model flood risk exposure for insurance and emergency planning based on the defined hazard zones.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of flood risk across 15 municipalities in the Dordogne basin.

Strengths

• Covers 15 specific municipalities with detailed municipal-level PPRi plans.
• Hazard classification is based on hydrological modeling for multiple rivers, including historical and calculated reference floods.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2022-01-07 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
