Question 17990 — research and innovation

Summary

Mr. Erwan Balanant alerts the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the situation of CNRS researchers working in areas subject to worrying climatic and telluric phenomena. France must face risks linked to both climatic conditions and seismic and volcanic instability. Whether on metropolitan territory or overseas, the State must be able to protect citizens. This involves effective and active surveillance of risk areas. To do this, it is necessary to remain alert to the evolution of natural risks, as currently on the Piton de la Fournaise. This monitoring mission is operated by Météo-France but not only: the CNRS contributes significantly to this monitoring. Since its creation, Météo-France has, by decree no. 93-861 of June 18, 1993, been invested with a mission observation, monitoring and warning regarding meteorological safety of people and property. As such, this organization is responsible for meeting the needs expressed in terms of civil security, prevention of major risks and nuclear safety. The mission entrusted to Météo-France must, to be effective, find its basis in a constant study of the phenomena listed above. It is therefore necessary to move researchers to crisis zones. The constraints linked to the surveillance exercise are governed by rules aimed at protecting researchers during their work in exposed areas and ensuring them social protection in the event of an incident. The difference between Météo-France and the CNRS lies in the level of authorization. If it is specified, in the decree creating the first organization, that its mission is to ensure the triptych observation, surveillance, alert, Decree No. 84-431 of June 6, 1984, creating the CNRS, only mentions research and training missions. However, for research purposes, the researcher is required to travel to risk areas, which in particular involves constraints. However, unlike Météo-France staff, CNRS agents do not benefit from the guarantees and rights affiliated to the on-call regime. He him asks what it plans to ensure that CNRS agents can benefit from guarantees linked to on-call duty when staff carry out an observation, surveillance and control mission in risk areas.
