Indeed, while the floods led to significant damage in the towns of Coulommiers, Crécy-la-Chapelle and Saint-Germain-sur-Morin, the accelerated procedure for recognizing the state of natural disaster has just been triggered by the Ministry of the Interior, this Saturday, October 12, at the request of the prefect of Seine-et-Marne.
