In addition to applying the health and behavioral recommendations issued by the regional health agency, particularly for vulnerable residents, the prefect has reinforced several types of controls.
Compliance with bans on the burning of green waste outdoors and the use of unclamping devices on mopeds will be further checked.
The press release published by the prefecture also mentions speed controls, updating of technical reports and pollution of vehicles in circulation.
Installations classified for the protection of the environment (ICPE) may also be subject to verifications of the application of the prescriptions which concern them.
Stricter measures are likely to be taken later.
