BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES provides a dataset of hazard zones for the Risk Prevention Plan (PPR) in Loir-et-Cher, France. The data represents areas exposed to one or more hazards, with zoning graduated according to hazard level, intensity, and probability of occurrence. It was last updated on March 28, 2019.
Use Cases
- Delineating land-use restrictions based on hazard zoning levels.
- Assessing exposure to natural hazards for infrastructure planning.
- Modeling risk by integrating hazard intensity and probability data.
- Identifying areas protected by structures that remain subject to hazard.
Strengths
- Data is based on a formal hazard study synthesizing multiple sources of calculated, modelled, or observed data.
- Hazard zoning considers both the probability of occurrence and the intensity of dangerous phenomena.
- Areas protected by structures are included in the hazard representation.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Last updated 2019-03-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
