Following the exceptional storms of October 19 and 20, the Communauté d'agglomération Arles Crau Camargue Montagnette (ACCM) has mobilized alongside economic actors to present support and aid measures for affected businesses.

A meeting took place on Thursday, October 29, at the Palais des Congrès in Arles, organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) in partnership with the Chamber of Trades and Crafts, the Chamber of Agriculture, the State, the Department, the Région Sud, and ACCM. The objective was to review the support and aid measures for businesses affected by the bad weather.
Representatives from insurance companies, Urssaf, and the Banque de France presented the compensation procedures related to the recognition of the natural disaster status, as well as the various support mechanisms available for affected professionals.
Several ACCM elected officials were present, including Patrick Chauvin, vice-president for commerce, Tania Teixier, vice-president for economic activity zones, Cyril Juglaret, vice-president for transport and regional councilor, and Mandy Graillon, vice-president for finance and departmental councilor.
