PPR Bedous: Flood Hazard Zones for the Bedous Prevention Plan, Pyrenees-Atlantiques

Hazard zones for the Bedous Flood Prevention Plan (PPR) in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department of France. The data represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, as delimited by a graduated zoning map resulting from hazard intensity and probability studies. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on 2019-03 26.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood risk exposure based on the graduated hazard zoning levels described.
• Analyzing land-use suitability for construction based on the delineated hazard areas.
• Integrating hazard zones with other geospatial data for multi-risk assessment, as the description mentions multi-hazard PPRs.
• Studying the representation of areas protected by structures that are still considered subject to hazard.

Strengths

• Data is based on a formal hazard study process that evaluates intensity and probability.
• Includes areas protected by structures, representing a specific case of hazard consideration.
• Produced by the authoritative geological and mining research bureau (BRGM).

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The data is described as informative and not enforceable against third parties.
