Summary

Ms. Valérie Beauvais draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the damage caused by the 2018 heatwave to many homes in France. Several departments of the Grand Est have therefore 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 the homes, some being large enough to create a gap open to the outside. The consequences of the 2018 heatwave are both material, financial, but 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. In addition, the residents affected by these These phenomena are faced by insurance companies which often seek to avoid compensation by commissioning insufficient expert opinions to which the victims are not able to provide a second opinion. Residents, like mayors, are demanding 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. Consequently, she asks him to indicate the Government's position in relation to this request.
