Question 2033 — natural disasters

Summary

Mr. Yoann Gillet reminds the Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention that, following the floods that occurred in October 1993 and January 1994 in the Camargue island, then in 2003 on the right bank of the Rhône and the Petit Rhône, the Rhône plan saw the light of day under the aegis of the State and the regions. This system enabled the Interregional Joint Syndicate of Rhône Delta and Sea Dykes (SYMADREM) to carry out 220 million euros of investment work since 2007. Thus, 73 kilometers of dikes have been consolidated between the Vallabrègues dam and downstream from the city center of Arles. The exposure to flood risk of people living at the head of the Rhône delta (Beaucaire, Tarascon, Arles, etc.) has thus been considerably improved. On the other hand, the exposure to risk of inhabitants residing in the Gard Camargue, in the island Camargue and in the lower part of the Beaucaire plain as well as in the Saint-Gilles corridor, i.e. 30,000 inhabitants, remained identical to the situation in 2003. The continuation of the SYMADREM projects, although established in accordance with the objectives of the Rhône plan and the 2022-2027 flood risk management plan for the Rhône Méditerranée basin, as well as in accordance with the financial model of the interregional plan contract State-regions plan Rhône 2021-2027 signed in September 2023, is now suspended. He therefore asks it to intervene so that the State continues its solidarity policy of flood prevention and puts the file submitted in April 2022 by SYMADREM to the public inquiry as soon as possible in order to allow work to begin in 2025. He urges the Government to react and respect its commitments.
