Georisques

Géorisques is France’s official online platform for accessing information on natural and technological risks at local level. It allows users to identify hazards near a specific address, explore risk maps, and understand their exposure. The portal combines geospatial data, regulatory information, and practical guidance, including tools such as ERRIAL for property-related risk disclosure. It is designed for citizens, authorities, and professionals to support risk awareness, preparedness, and compliance with legal requirements.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Enter an address or select a location in France.
  • Explore natural and technological hazards affecting the selected area.
  • Access risk maps, regulatory information, datasets and practical guidance.
  • Use property-related risk-disclosure services, including ERRIAL.
  • Review historical and present risk information from national and local sources.

Output

  • Local risk maps and geospatial information.
  • Natural- and technological-risk profiles for selected locations.
  • Regulatory and property-risk-disclosure information.
  • Datasets, indicators, narratives and practical guidance.
  • Reports and decision-support resources, including best-practice information.

Use it to

  • Identify hazards and risks near an address or within a territory.
  • Support local risk awareness and preparedness.
  • Inform land-use, urban, building and coastal-risk discussions.
  • Meet property-related risk-disclosure and regulatory information needs.
  • Support initial climate-risk and disaster-risk assessments before undertaking detailed studies.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Gives citizens, authorities and professionals a single official point of access to a comprehensive range of local risks in France, including both climate-related natural hazards and technological risks. Its address-based search and clear public interface make complex geospatial and regulatory information easier to use for property, planning and preparedness decisions. The breadth of coverage is a major strength, although maintaining comprehensive, high-quality information while keeping it understandable remains challenging.

Used in

  • Local natural- and technological-risk information across France and the French Outermost Regions.
  • Property-risk disclosure in France through ERRIAL.
  • Risk awareness and preparedness for flooding, coastal flooding, drought, wildfire, storms, landslides and snow-related hazards.
  • French land-use, urban, building, coastal and disaster-risk planning.
  • Official risk-information services provided by the French Ministry and BRGM.
