The decree of October 27, 2026, confirms the recognition of the natural disaster status for the municipality of Aigues-Mortes. This decision follows the request filed by the Municipality concerning the natural phenomena of 'Floods and mudslides' that occurred in the town.
The abnormal intensity of the phenomenon has been characterized by rainfall accumulations with a return period equal to or greater than 10 years. This decree may grant policyholders coverage against the effects of natural disasters on property covered by insurance contracts, when the direct material damage resulting from it was primarily caused by the effect of this natural agent and preventive measures could not prevent its occurrence.
If the policyholder is covered by an insurance contract, the recognized natural disaster status may grant the aforementioned coverage, under the conditions stipulated in the corresponding insurance contract.
