Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): PPRN flooding zone of the upstream Gers basin (Gers department)

Area exposed to flood hazard shown on the hazard map used for risk analysis of the upstream Gers basin RPP (Gers Department). The hazard map is the result of the study of the flood hazard, the objective of which is to assess the intensity of the hazard at any point in the study area. The evaluation method is specific to each hazard type. It leads to the delimitation of a set of areas on the study perimeter constituting a zoning graduated according to the level of the hazard. The allocation of a hazard level at a given point in the territory takes into account the probability of occurrence of the dangerous phenomenon and its degree of intensity. All the hazard areas depicted on the map of the vagaries of the municipalities making up the upstream Gers basin are included. Areas protected by protective structures must be represented (possibly in a specific way) as they are always considered subject to hazard (case of breakage or inadequacy of the structure). Hazard zones can be described as developed data to the extent that they result from a synthesis using multiple sources of calculated, modelled or observed hazard data. These source data are not concerned by this class of objects but by another standard dealing with the knowledge of hazards. Some areas within the study area are considered “no or insignificant hazard zones”. These are the areas where the hazard has been studied and is nil. These areas are not included in the object class and do not have to be represented as hazard zones. However, in the case of natural RPPs, regulatory zoning may classify certain areas not exposed to hazard as prescribing areas (see definition of the PPR class).
