PPR Nousty: Flood Hazard Zones for the Pyrenees-Atlantiques Department

Hazard zones for the Wet'y Flood Risk Prevention Plan in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department of France. The data represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, with zoning graduated according to hazard level based on probability and intensity. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in March 2019.

Use Cases

• Assess flood risk for property development based on hazard zoning levels.
• Model potential flood damage scenarios based on hazard intensity and probability.
• Inform land-use planning and regulatory zoning decisions for municipalities.
• Validate or update flood risk maps using standardized hazard study results.

Strengths

• Data is the result of a formal hazard study synthesizing multiple sources of calculated, modelled, or observed data.
• Includes areas protected by structures that are still considered subject to hazard.
• Hazard zoning is graduated according to level, incorporating both probability of occurrence and intensity.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019-03-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
