Loire. The commune of Renaison declared in a state of natural disaster

Due to the lack of significant rainfall in early 2023 and the drought in 2022, the Renaison dams were only half full before the arrival of spring.

To preserve this water resource, the union then demanded an exemption on the quantity of water returned downstream to the river. It also opened the interconnection at the Commelle-Vernay station. The then Minister of Ecological Transition, Christophe Béchu, met with the basin prefects to take stock of the water scarcity problems facing the regions and the measures to be taken to preserve the resource for this summer. The water shortage was measurable almost everywhere, as at the Roannaise Water Union.

30 days to make your declaration

By interministerial decree of April 23, 2025 published in the Official Journal of April 26, 2025, the commune of Renaison was declared to be in a state of natural disaster, following ground movements resulting from drought and rehydration of the soil for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2023.

Victims of disasters in the municipality have 30 days from the date of publication of the decrees to make their declaration to their insurance company, if they have not already done so at the time of the disaster.
