The Particular Intervention Plan or PPI is one of the many emergency plans put in place by France to protect the population and the environment. It allows to define the protection perimeter, to identify the sensitive sites hosting fragile populations (schools, hospitals...) and to set up measures to protect the population. What is a PPI and who are the actors of this plan?
What is a PPI?
The Special Response Plan is an anticipated response to manage the consequences on the population of an accident occurring on a site presenting risks.
It is a plan under the authority of the State. It concerns several types of facilities:
- Nuclear facilities
- Chemical plants
- Storage facilities
- The dams
- Infrastructures related to the transport of hazardous materials
- Laboratories using micro-organisms
Who are the actors of the Special Response Plan?
The installations concerned by a PPI are defined either at the national level, or at the European level for "Seveso" establishments.
The PPI is drawn up by the prefect who prepares, according to the risks identified, the protection measures, the mobilization and the coordination of all the actors concerned.
The Particular Intervention Plan includes several actors:
- The operator develops an IOP.
The PPI imposes obligations in terms of alerting and informing the authorities and the emergency measures to be taken in the event of a rapidly evolving accident.
All these elements must be pragmatically foreseen in the POI as well as the formalism associated with the request to the prefect to activate the PPI.
- All the emergency services (firemen, SAMU...) and the State (police forces, prefectures...)
- Municipalities: must create a Communal Emergency Plan (PCS)
- The prefect is also responsible for the prescription and elaboration of the Plans for the Prevention of Predictable Natural Risks (PPRN) and the Plans for the Prevention of Technological Risks (PPRT).
