Data batch direct download service (WFS): Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPRN) for the Department of Meuse (55)

Natural or technological risk prevention plans are one of the tools of the State’s risk prevention policy. The RPP is a regulatory prevention record that communicates risk areas to populations and planners and identifies measures to reduce vulnerability. A PPR contains geographic data on a given territory that is very useful for crisis management, land or real estate management and urban planning. However, a PPR is not an operational crisis management document. Approved planning documents must include an annex to the RPP’s zoning plan as soon as the RPP is approved. The Risk Prevention Plan (RPP) standard should be used for data exchange between actors in these different areas. The data standard shall improve the availability of spatial data produced under the PPRT or PPRN procedures. A few simple use cases have been identified: • define a PPR data exchange scenario using shared structuring rules; • homogenise service practices and improve the exchange of data between actors in their different fields of application; • propose technical specifications to structure the spatial data produced at the time of the development of the RPP; • facilitate mapping of prescribed or approved major hazard prevention plans in a given territory; • distribute to the public maps of the regulatory areas of the RPPs and the areas subject to hazard in a homogeneous manner; • keep track of the hazards and issues that have been used to develop the zoning plan and RPP regulations. These data are interesting, especially in the case of a revision of the RPP. While this data is required in the departmental data infrastructure, another issue of this standard is to facilitate the transfer of RPP data to risk awareness and risk prevention policy monitoring applications.
