The Saucats town hall has initiated a process with state services to request the recognition of a natural disaster status due to drought, following damage observed in homes.

This initiative particularly concerns homes that have suffered damage linked to ground movements caused by drought, such as the appearance of cracks.
The municipality invites residents who have noticed damage to their homes to report it to the town hall. To do so, they must submit photographs of the observed damage and a brief description of the observed issues.
These elements will enable the municipality to better inventory the situations encountered within its territory and to complete the information related to its request to state services.
The recognition of natural disaster status remains subject to a decision by the state services.
