The risk of clay shrinkage and swelling (RGA) affects the Saint-Loubès area through soil volume variations. These phenomena, exacerbated by this summer's drought, can cause damage under constructions such as cracks or subsidence.
The town hall invites residents who have suffered damage to contact its services to declare the incident. These declarations are essential for the municipality to submit a file to the prefecture for recognition as a natural disaster.
The procedure in case of damage is as follows: first, declare the incident to your insurance company promptly. Second, inform the town hall with your full name, complete address, a detailed description of the damage with photos, the approximate date and time of the incident, and an estimate of losses. Reports can be sent to accueil@saint-loubes.fr.
If a natural disaster status is recognized for the municipality, a prefectural decree will be published in the Official Journal. Insured parties will then have a maximum of 30 days after publication to confirm their claim with their insurance company.
