PPR Accous (64006): Flood Hazard Zones for Risk Prevention Planning

Hazard zones for the Accous flood prevention plan in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of France. The data represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, as defined by the regulatory risk prevention plan (PPR), and results from a synthesis of calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on March 26, 2019.

Use Cases

• Land-use planning and zoning based on flood hazard levels.
• Risk analysis for infrastructure projects located within the mapped hazard zones.
• Assessing the potential impact of protective structures, considering scenarios of failure or inadequacy.

Strengths

• Based on a synthesis of multiple hazard data sources (calculated, modelled, observed).
• Explicitly includes areas behind protective structures, accounting for their potential failure.
• Produced by a national geological and mining research organization (BRGM).

Limitations

• Data is described as informative and not legally enforceable against third parties.
• Completeness and accuracy are not guaranteed against official documents.
