PPRI Hazard Zones for the Thouet Valley in Deux-Sèvres, France

Hazard zones for the Thouet valley in Deux-Sèvres, France, delineating areas exposed to one or more natural hazards as part of a Risk Prevention Plan (PPR). The dataset is produced by the French Geological and Mining Research Bureau (BRGM) and was last updated in April 2019. It represents a synthesis of calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data to create a graduated zoning according to hazard level.

Use Cases

• Risk assessment modeling based on hazard intensity and probability data.
• Land-use planning and zoning based on graduated hazard levels.
• Evaluating the impact of protective structures on hazard exposure.
• Multi-hazard analysis for areas identified with codes for multiple risks.

Strengths

• Data is a synthesis from multiple hazard data sources, suggesting a comprehensive assessment.
• Hazard zones are graduated by level, providing detail on intensity and probability.
• Produced by a national geological research bureau (BRGM), indicating authoritative sourcing.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
