On April 3, 2023, the interministerial decree recognizing the state of natural disaster in Gironde was published in the Official Journal. This recognition concerns the differential ground movements following drought and soil rehydration in 2022 for 235 municipalities in the region.
Victims now have 30 days from the publication of the decree to declare their claim to their insurance company. Differential ground movements are phenomena that affect soils and can have significant consequences on buildings and infrastructure.. Differential landslides resulting from drought and soil rehydration have particularly significant consequences in Gironde. These phenomena can cause cracks and subsidence in buildings, endangering the safety of the people who live there.
The list of the 235 municipalities concerned by the decree can be consulted on the website of the Official Journal. The municipalities of the Bordeaux region are particularly affected, but many other municipalities in the region are also affected. Victims of these municipalities now have 30 days to report their claim to their insurance company.
Other municipal requests are currently being examined and will be the subject of a decision in the coming weeks. This situation underlines the importance of taking measures to prevent the consequences of natural phenomena on buildings and infrastructures.. Recognition of the state of natural disaster allows victims to benefit from coverage by their insurance company, but it is important to remember the importance of taking measures to avoid such disasters in the future.
