two departments on red flood alert, four in orange
Hello everyone, and good morning. Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to flood monitoring this Friday, October 11.
Flooded streets, closed schools, damaged homes: several dozen people were evacuated in Eure-et-Loir and Seine-et-Marne, departments placed on red flood alert after the intense rains due to the passage of the Kirk depression.
This red vigilance, synonymous with “risk of major flooding” with “direct threat” to the safety of people and property, should continue on Friday. In Eure-et-Loir, on the upstream Loir placed on red alert, “significant overflows are underway in the Bonneval and Saint-Maur-sur-le-Loir sectors”, warned at the start of the afternoon the specialized government site Vigicrues.
