Approved in 2001, this dataset contains the regulatory zoning for the Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) in the municipality of Sainte Maxime, France, related to the Préconil and Bouillonnet rivers. The zoning was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières based on 1995 hazard studies and a constructibility grid, resulting in a digital map. The dataset was last updated on the platform in March 2020.
Use Cases
