Use Cases

• Land-use planning and zoning based on mapped flood hazard levels.
• Risk assessment for property and infrastructure based on hazard probability and intensity.
• Regulatory compliance for construction in flood-prone areas based on the PPRN (Plan de Prévention des Risques Naturels) framework.

Strengths

• Data is based on a formal hazard study synthesizing multiple calculated, modelled, or observed hazard sources.
• Hazard zones are graduated according to level, incorporating both probability of occurrence and intensity.
• Areas protected by structures are included, accounting for potential failure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2021-09-17; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
