Natural and industrial hazards.
Share of the département’s 24 communes exposed to each major hazard, and natural-disaster declarations since 1982.
Natural-disaster declarations by type
A natural-disaster declaration (arrêté CatNat) lets insurers pay out for the damage. The count reflects past events, not a forecast of future risk. The list of hazards comes from each département’s major-risk file; a prevention plan in force limits building in exposed zones.
