Question 16982 — natural disasters

Summary

Mr. Didier Martin draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the damage caused by the 2018 heatwave to many homes in French territory. For the Côte-d'Or department alone, 85 municipalities are impacted and have submitted a request for recognition of the state of natural disaster. Indeed, due to the dehydration of the soil, the stability of the foundations has been modified, creating numerous cracks in the walls of homes, some being large enough to create a gap open to the outside. The consequences of the 2018 heatwave are material, financial and also psychological. Affected residents are asking for support from the Government. The repair costs caused by this damage are substantial and cannot be borne by the owners of the buildings concerned. The inhabitants, like the mayors, are asking for urgent recognition of the state of natural disaster, in the context of the 2018 heatwave, like the measures that were taken during the 2003 heatwave. He asks him to let him know his position in relation to this request.
