The municipality of Caumont-sur-Durance announced on October 12, 2026, that it will submit a request for natural disaster recognition to the state following the heatwave episodes that occurred during the summer of 2026.

Certain constructions suffered damage due to the intense heat of last summer. The town hall urges residents who have noticed fissures on their property to report it promptly.
To compile the file, affected individuals must send a letter addressed to the mayor, Claude Morel, by December 1, 2026. This letter must include the following information: full name, postal address, mobile number, email address, and a brief description of the damages incurred, ideally with photos.
The letter can be sent or dropped off at the Mairie de Caumont-sur-Durance. The municipality hopes to obtain natural disaster status recognition to assist its residents.
