Map Viewing Service (WMS) of the dataset: Seismic zoning in the department of Nièvre (58)

Since 22 October 2010, France has had a new seismic zoning dividing the national territory into five zones of increasing seismicity depending on the probability of occurrence of earthquakes (Articles R563-1 to R563-8 of the Environmental Code, as amended by Decrees Nos 2010-1254 of 22 October 2010 and 2010-1255 of 22 October 2010, as well as by the Decree of 22 October 2010): • an area of seismicity 1 where there is no specific seismic requirement for buildings at normal risk (the seismic hazard associated with this area is described as very low), • four seismicity zones 2 to 5, where seismic construction rules apply to new buildings and old buildings under special conditions.
