Question 10905 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Démoulin draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion to the place of citizens in flood risk prevention mechanisms. The episode of flooding in October 2014 remains etched in the memory of the French. With more than 600 houses flooded, 200 families affected, 52 people airlifted in the middle of the night, it is a trauma that lasts and reawakens with every whim of the weather. On his constituency, it was the municipalities of Grabels and Juvignac which suffered the most. At the national level, these floods caused human tragedies: four deaths in Lamalou-les-Bains, eight deaths in Cannes. According to the French Association for the Prevention of Natural Disasters (AFPCM), around 19,000 municipalities are subject to flood risk to varying degrees. Between 1982 and 2010, this risk caused more than 200 victims and generated nearly 6 billion euros in damage. In Grabels, the “Tous au sec” association recommends freeing the voices of older people who, through their life experience, have experienced numerous climatic hazards in order to improve the existing prevention systems in the municipality. Also, it draws attention to the place of seniors and the sharing of their experience within the territories to improve the systems of community prevention.
