What is this
Risk zones are territories that the municipality has marked in its planning documents as exposed to some hazard — flooding, coastal erosion, landslides, industrial accidents or elevated noise. They are not the same as the modelled flood zones: these are planning-level designations.
If a property falls into a risk zone, it can mean additional construction requirements or restrictions on specific uses. Worth checking together with the flood map and the special provisions, as these layers often overlap.
