The flood risk prevention plan (PPRi) is a document produced at the initiative of the Prefect and under his authority, by State services, in consultation with the municipalities concerned, public intermunicipal cooperation establishments and local stakeholders.
After a development phase, the PPRi project is submitted for the opinion of municipal elected officials, associated organizations and public persons (official consultation phase). The PPRi file is then the subject of a public inquiry. At the end of the procedure, after the opinion of a commission of inquiry, it is approved by prefectural decree and constitutes a public utility easement. As such, the competent authorities for the development of town planning documents, mayors of the municipalities concerned or presidents of public intermunicipal cooperation establishments, will immediately annex the approval order and the PPRi to the approved local town planning plan, in accordance with the provisions of articles L.153-60 and R.151-51 of the town planning code.
