Following the passage of Cyclone Chido, and while the president decided to stay until this Friday in Mayotte, an interministerial decree recognizing the state of natural disaster was published. It concerns the 17 municipalities of the island. Those who are not insured will benefit from an emergency compensation fund.
This is not a surprise since Bruno Retailleau and François-Noël Buffet, respectively Ministers of the Interior and Overseas Territories, already mentioned it on Monday after their trip: the state of natural disaster has just be recognized for the 17 municipalities of Mayotte.
An interministerial decree was in fact published in the official journal on December 19. During the crisis meeting with the Mahorais elected officials at the Departmental Council, President Emmanuel Macron also spoke about it.
This decree constitutes a guarantee for affected residents to be able to be compensated for the damage caused by Cyclone Chido over the period from December 13 to 15. Except that only 10% of the population is covered. Here again, Emmanuel Macron, as well as members of the government, recalled that an emergency compensation fund would be set up to support those who are not insured.
What damages are concerned in this recognition order of the state of natural disaster? Those “caused by mechanical wave shocks, cyclonic winds, floods and mudslides“.
