Question 1101 — natural disasters

Summary

Mrs. Perrine Goulet draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the arrangements for rebuilding homes following the passage of Hurricane Irma on the islands of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. Law No. 95-101 of February 2, 1995 relating to the strengthening of environmental protection created the Fund for the prevention of major natural risks, known as the Barnier Fund, intended mainly to finance compensation expropriation of homes exposed to a significant natural risk. Decree No. 2005-29 of January 12, 2005, supplemented by the circular of April 23, 2007, expand the regulatory framework for preventive measures that can be financed by the Major Natural Risk Prevention Fund. Thus, this fund can finance preventive measures intended for the acquisition of exposed goods, the reduction of vulnerability to risks and information campaigns on natural disaster guarantee. Many precarious dwellings remain on these two islands and are more exposed to climatic risks. In Saint-Martin, 95% of homes were affected during Hurricane Irma, and 60% of them are uninhabitable. However, European standards, such as standard EN 1991-1-4 or national standards, such as standard NF DTU 39 P5 define levels of resistance of homes, including recommendations in the choice of materials. As such, the Major Natural Risk Prevention Fund can subsidize the reconstruction of homes that meet these standards, in order to limit damage during possible future climate risks. This is why she asks him to please indicate the measures he intends to implement to encourage construction paracyclones in the most exposed areas as part of the Major Natural Risk Prevention Fund.
