After the deadly storms, compensation will be facilitated in Corsica.
The state of natural disaster has indeed been recognized for several municipalities on the island, according to the Official Journal of this Thursday.
The Ministers of the Economy, the Interior and the Minister Delegate in charge of Public Accounts have recognized this state of natural disaster for the municipalities of Southern Corsica as well as Haute-Corse.
Corsica was hit on August 18 by thunderstorms that left five people dead across the island.
Establishment of a "one-stop shop" to receive insurance
Among the municipalities recognized in a state of natural disaster is that of Calvi (Haute-Corse), where a 45-year-old man died, and where several bungalows were crushed by huge uprooted pines.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin had promised recognition of the state of natural disaster and the establishment of a "one-stop shop" so that affected companies could "get their insurance very quickly".
Stressing that the weather alert had "not made it possible to properly qualify these winds" which were "absolutely exceptional", the minister had also announced an investigation by Civil Security.
