Following recent flooding, the City of Salon-de-Provence has announced the launch of an official procedure with State services to obtain recognition of a natural disaster state.

This administrative step aims to allow residents who have suffered damage to benefit from the compensation scheme provided by current regulations. The municipality notes, however, that this recognition is not automatic and will depend on the review of the file by the competent authorities.
While awaiting a decision, the City strongly recommends that affected residents contact their insurance company without delay. It is also advised to keep all evidence of damage, such as photographs, invoices, or any other relevant documentation.
The municipality, which has been mobilized since the start of the bad weather, states that it will remain attentive to the situation of the residents and will communicate any updates regarding this official request.
