Introduction: In the midst of the COVID-19 health crisis, the Regional Health Observatories (RHO) and the National Federation of RHOs have chosen to make available their expertise regarding development and production of health indicators to support local and national public policies available, in order to plan for the lifting of population lockdown measures.
Purpose Of Research: To characterize as finely as possible the geographical territories, including overseas territories, using indicators to describe both the population potentially at risk of presenting serious forms of COVID-19 and the demographic and social situations that could favor the circulation of the Sars-Cov-2 virus.
Results: 1,250 profile sheets, one for each public establishment of intermunicipal cooperation in the French departments (excluding Mayotte) presenting 34 indicators were produced. A national synthesis including a typology of these territories in seven classes was also produced.
Conclusion: This work shows the possibility of describing a series of indicators linked to a specific theme systematically and at fine geographical scales. Along with a typology of territories, this tool can contribute with others to the management of a health crisis.
