Zonas de Risco de Inundação — PGRIA 2022-2027 (Açores)
What this layer shows
The flood risk zones of the Flood Risk Management Plan of the Autonomous Region of the Azores (PGRIA 2022-2027), each with its risk class (low, moderate or high): river flooding on São Miguel, Terceira, São Jorge, Flores and Pico, and coastal flooding on São Miguel and Pico. The Azorean equivalent of the mainland's ARPSI. The plan maps only the areas it assessed; outside them the risk is not mapped, which does not mean there is none.

Constraints
The designations a professional checks first: the Natura 2000 sites (ZEC and ZPE: the basis of the Avaliação de Incidências Ambientais), the mainland protected areas with their legal classification, the national inventory of classified areas (which covers Madeira and the Azores), the Ramsar sites, the water-domain servitudes (ARPSI flood extents, adjacent zones, abstraction protection perimeters and classified reservoirs) and the POOC and POAAP zoning. Does NOT include REN, RAN or PDM zoning: for a complete constraints plan, consult the municipality.
Madeira and the Azores
The set for working on the islands. ICNF's and APA's national layers cover the mainland only: these are the ones that answer on the islands: Natura 2000 and the national inventory of classified areas, on Madeira, Porto Santo, the Selvagens and the nine islands of the Azores. On Madeira come the regional layers: areas of potentially significant flood risk, sea cliffs, the land cadastre (still partial), the geological map, PDM zoning, landslide and fire susceptibility, coastal risks and the Santana and Porto Santo biosphere reserves. On the Azores, the Regional Government's layers: Ramsar sites, biosphere reserves, flood-risk zones, water-abstraction protection and vulnerable zones.
