Question 1103 — natural disasters

Summary

Mr. Bérenger Cernon alerts the Minister of the Interior to the recent floods which hit the department of Essonne following the heavy rains caused by Storm Kirk. This storm caused record rainfall in several departments: the equivalent of a month's usual rainfall for the month of October often fell in one night. The municipalities of Brunoy, Yerres, Montgeron and Crosne were particularly affected by these floods, leading to the evacuation of several homes as well as the Val d'Yerres hospital. The town of Vigneux was also impacted, leading to flooding of cellars and leaks in the roofs. Although the Seine did not flood simultaneously, the rising waters caused significant material damage. The action of Syage (Water Management Union) has fortunately made it possible to limit the extent of the damage. However, these recent floods, which have been repeated in a worrying manner in recent years (in 2016, then in 2018 and finally in 2024), highlight the great vulnerability of territories to extreme weather phenomena. In this context, the MP requests from the Minister recognition of the state of natural disaster for the affected municipalities in his constituency. This measure is essential to allow affected residents to quickly benefit from fair and necessary compensation to deal with the damage suffered. Indeed, this recognition would allow national solidarity to be fully expressed in these moments of great difficulty for the affected populations. He wants to know his position on this subject.
