The commune of Belcodène has been officially recognized as a natural disaster area following severe floods and mudslides that occurred on October 19 and 20, 2026.

The recognition of this status, formalized by a decree received by the town hall today, follows the bad weather that hit the commune. Affected residents are invited to report their claims to their insurance company as soon as possible, if they have not already done so.
This procedure allows, subject to legal conditions and applicable guarantees, to request the activation of the "natural disasters" coverage of their insurance contract. The town hall recommends that those affected contact their insurer, keep photographs of the damage and useful supporting documents, and preserve, as far as possible, the damaged property until a potential expert assessment.
The Belcodène town hall remains available for any further information.
