In the aftermath of the devastating weather, solidarity is being organized in the affected municipalities. The Department has announced the mobilization of an exceptional fund of 5 million euros to help local authorities repair their infrastructure and public facilities. This aid aims to facilitate a swift return to normal in the impacted areas.
The President of the Departmental Council, Martine Vassal, visited Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, Saint-Chamas, and Istres to meet with residents, mayors, and the teams working on the ground. In Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, where a resident tragically lost their life, Martine Vassal expressed her deep emotion and sent her thoughts to the victim's family and loved ones.
“"In these difficult times, departmental solidarity is not just a slogan. We are a pillar of stability. And the Department will be present, alongside the mayors and residents, for as long as necessary."
The President also praised the commitment of local elected officials, firefighters, municipal agents, and Departmental road agents, who responded from the very first hours to ensure the safety of the population and infrastructure.
