PPRT Hazard Zones for the Rhodia Facility in La Rochelle, France

A 2021 geospatial dataset from the French Geological Survey (BRGM) delineating hazard zones for the Rhodia industrial facility in La Rochelle, France. It represents areas exposed to one or more hazards as part of a Technological Risk Prevention Plan (PPRT), used for risk analysis. The hazard map results from a study assessing the intensity and probability of dangerous phenomena.

Use Cases

• Land-use planning and zoning based on hazard level gradations.
• Risk assessment for industrial facilities based on aggregated hazard synthesis.
• Modeling the impact of protective structure failure based on represented hazard zones.
• Identifying areas of 'no or insignificant hazard' for development planning.

Strengths

• Produced by the authoritative French Geological Survey (BRGM).
• Based on a synthesis of multiple calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data sources.
• Last updated on 2021-09-17.

Limitations

• Row count and file formats are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the data is from 2021.
