The recognition of natural disaster status for Quissac was formalized by a ministerial decree dated October 16, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette on October 23, 2026. This climatic event caused floods and mudslides in the area.
This recognition is a crucial step for residents who suffered damages. It enables insured individuals to seek compensation for material losses directly caused by these events, in accordance with their insurance contracts and the law.
Affected residents have a period of 30 days from October 23, 2026, the publication date of the decree, to declare their claim to their insurance company. It is advisable to do so promptly, even if the full extent of the damage has not yet been assessed.
To build a strong case, it is recommended to take photos of the damage, list the damaged items, keep all available invoices and receipts, and, if possible, retain damaged property for expert inspection. Contacting your insurer for specific declaration and coverage procedures is essential.
The municipality of Quissac reminds that this recognition does not guarantee automatic compensation for all damages. Coverage depends on legal conditions and the specific guarantees of each insurance policy. The deadline for submitting a claim is November 22, 2026.
