Question 13267 — natural disasters

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Feld alerts the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature of the absolute urgency of recognizing the state of natural disaster for the municipalities affected by storm Nils as well as recent floods. Gironde and particularly the villages of Entre-deux-Mers and Sud-Gironde are experiencing a meteorological sequence of intense exceptional, mixing floods, floods, violent winds and disruptions to essential networks, as the Minister was able to observe during her trip to Cadillac-sur-Garonne and Béguey, on February 16, 2026. According to the available situational information, the Gironde Garonne sector has reached levels which exceed those observed in 2021 (nearly 9.86 m), triggering the activation of municipal protection plans for the communes, people being sheltered and countless damages to roads, public facilities and numerous businesses, businesses and private properties. According to data from the prefecture, in the Réolais Community of Communes alone, a thousand people were flooded. Since the start of the floods, at least 105 people have been sheltered with the support of mayors, firefighters and police. Many dikes have broken, up to 101 departmental roads have been closed, bridges remain inaccessible, tens of thousands of people have been deprived of electricity and telephony. In some municipalities, drinking water was no longer accessible and was replaced by bottle distribution. This meteorological disaster continues to strongly affect populations, life and the local economy and to mobilize strongly support local authorities who are on the front line. The dramatic consequences of these episodes are already being felt but will continue to become clearer in the coming days. In this context, the declaration of a natural disaster is of paramount importance to accelerate the processing of files for disaster victims and the obtaining of immediate benefits and compensation. It has now been a week since the storm Nils swept these territories and many villages were and remain flooded; however, no interministerial decree has been taken to this effect. Also, she questions him about the date planned for the issuance of this order, which she hopes will take place as quickly as possible and will concern all the municipalities affected, for all the damage suffered.
