The municipality of Pélissanne has been officially recognized as a natural disaster area due to floods and mudslides that occurred on October 19 and 20, 2026.

The inter-ministerial decree confirming this recognition was published in the Official Journal on Thursday, October 29, 2026. Affected residents are invited to contact their insurance company as soon as possible to complete the necessary steps for their compensation.
For damages covered by the natural disaster scheme, a period of 30 days from the publication of the decree is granted to declare a claim to one's insurer, until November 28, 2026. It is advisable to quickly contact your insurance, respect this deadline, keep supporting documents (photographs, invoices, quotes), and provide the recognition decree if necessary.
