Hazard zones for the Argenton sur Creuse agglomeration in Creuse, France, defined by the Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPRN). The dataset, produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM), represents areas exposed to one or more hazards based on a graduated zoning map. Last updated on April 4, 2019, it includes areas protected by structures that are still considered subject to potential hazard.
Use Cases
- Assess land development suitability based on hazard zone classifications described in the PPRN.
- Model potential damage from natural hazards using the graduated intensity levels defined in the hazard map.
- Identify areas requiring protective structures based on the representation of zones with existing defenses.
- Support regulatory zoning decisions by distinguishing between hazard zones and 'zero or insignificant hazard zones'.
Strengths
- Hazard zones are defined by a specific study assessing intensity and probability for each hazard type.
- Includes areas protected by structures, acknowledging their potential failure or inadequacy.
- Produced by the authoritative geological and mining research bureau BRGM.
