PPRI 2013 Dordogne Basin: Flood Hazard Zones for 15 Municipalities in Corrèze

Corrèze, France, is the geographic scope of this dataset detailing flood hazard classes for 15 municipalities along the Dordogne River and its tributaries. The data was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) as part of the 2013 Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI). It models hazard zones based on historical floods and calculated centennial events for the Dordogne, Maronne, Souvigne, Sagne, Filèle, Malefarge, Ménoire, and Cerou rivers.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood-prone areas based on modeled hazard classes combining water height and speed.
• Informing land-use planning and construction regulations based on red, dark blue, and blue zone classifications.
• Assessing flood risk to people and property for specific municipalities mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• The dataset is based on a specific regulatory framework (PPRI) approved on 30/10/2013.
• It covers a defined geographic area of 15 municipalities in Corrèze, France.
• Hazard modeling incorporates both historical flood events and calculated centennial floods.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
