Question 16546 — health

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Dutremble alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the need to anticipate heatwave crises by prior identification of resource locations likely to accommodate the most vulnerable populations. As heatwave episodes multiply, intensify and become earlier, anticipation now constitutes a public health imperative. The waves of heat, which occurred on average once every five years before the end of the 1980s, now occurs every year on the national territory. This development particularly exposes the elderly, people with disabilities, people suffering from chronic pathologies, isolated people as well as young children and infants. The summer of 2024 was marked by more than 3,700 deaths attributable to heat in France, recalling the need to strengthen the preparation of public authorities in the face of these phenomena. In this context, the ability to quickly identify and mobilize refreshed resource locations constitutes a major challenge. However, in Saône-et-Loire, a predominantly rural department characterized by the extent of its territory and the dispersion of its population, there is, to date, no exhaustive mapping allowing to precisely identify the spaces likely to be mobilized in the event of a heatwave crisis. However, detailed knowledge of the existing situation appears essential to ensure a rapid and effective response. This mapping should in particular identify all the places likely to be mobilized in the event of a heatwave crisis: air-conditioned village halls, schools, gymnasiums, sports facilities, cinemas, meeting rooms. shows, media libraries, administrative buildings, shopping centers, businesses, establishments open to the public and, more generally, any building with cooled spaces, specifying their location, their reception capacity, their accessibility to the public as well as the concrete methods of their mobilization in an emergency situation. He therefore asks whether the State has, at the national level and more particularly in Saône-et-Loire, precise mapping of resource locations that can be mobilized in the event of a heatwave crisis. Failing this, he would like to know whether the Government intends to undertake a census of cooled spaces, which could serve as a basis for the development of a vast national air conditioning plan for public buildings, establishments open to the public and structures welcoming the most vulnerable people.
