PPR SERRES-CASTET: Flood Hazard Zones for Risk Prevention in Pyrénées-Atlantiques

Hazard zones for the SERRES-CASTET flood prevention plan, representing areas exposed to one or more hazards based on a study of probability and intensity. The data was produced by the BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES and last updated in March 2019. It is described as informative and not legally enforceable, with completeness and accuracy not guaranteed against official documents.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood hazard exposure for land-use planning based on the described graduated zoning.
• Analyzing multi-hazard risk by overlaying zones identified with hazard codes as mentioned in the description.
• Assessing the impact of protective structures on hazard modeling, as areas behind them are still considered subject to hazard.
• Identifying areas of 'no or insignificant hazard' for comparative risk analysis, as described in the regulatory framework.

Strengths

• Data is based on a formal hazard study assessing probability and intensity, as described.
• Includes areas protected by structures, which are modeled as potentially hazardous.
• Hazard zones are described as a synthesis of multiple calculated, modeled, or observed data sources.

Limitations

• The data is explicitly noted as informative and not legally enforceable against third parties.
• Completeness and accuracy are not guaranteed against the official regulatory documents.
• Last updated 2019-03-26 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
