A new decree, published on November 5, recognized the state of natural disaster after the bad weather that occurred from October 8 to 13 and October 16 to 20. The victims have 30 days to request compensation.
The state of natural disaster was recognized for 46 municipalities in Yvelines after severe bad weather and flooding linked in particular to the passage of the Kirk depression last October. A decree was published in Official Journal this Tuesday, November 5.
An interministerial commission met on October 30 and examined new requests. They concern the damage occurring during the periods of October 8 to 13 and October 16 to 20, which are mainly due to flooding and mudslides.
30 days to request compensation
During these bad weather conditions, the Yvelines department was placed on orange “rain-flood” alert. School transport was, for a time, suspended and some schools had to close.
On the night of October 17 to 18, part of Île-de-France suffered torrential rain. The municipalities located south of Yvelines had been strongly affected.
This recognition of a natural disaster allows residents to facilitate compensation procedures.
The Yvelines prefecture reminds that victims have a maximum of 30 days to present or confirm their request for compensation with their insurance company.
The municipalities concerned are Les Bréviaires, La Falaise, Maurepas, Orgeval, Saint-Lambert and Toussus-le-Noble for the period from October 8 to 13.
