URBAN PLANNING: Reconstruction in a risk zone: COM measures

0

At the end of the presentation of the hazard map by the State, the president of the Collectivity indicated the reconstruction measures that he was going to impose in the French part.

Individuals who have a house in a risk zone and who want to carry out repair work on roofs, openings must file an Irma prior declaration (DPI) with the town planning services. They can then repair their house.

People who want to rebuild identically, have the authorization of the COM to "secure" their property, that is to say, put a roof, windows, repair the walls, etc., in order to continue to live there safely. However, the COM reserves the right to stay decisions for a maximum of two years on their file. In other words, it does not, for the time being, give final authorization to stay. The inhabitants of Orient Bay, Cul de Sac, Oyster Pond and Nettle Bay are particularly concerned.

During these two years maximum, the COM will study the dwellings on a case by case basis. She will be allowed to stay if the owner has the possibility of protecting himself against a new climatic or natural phenomenon (tsunami).

"Some decisions will be difficult to make, Irma has changed our lives. But we must bear in mind that we must ensure the security of goods and people, "said Daniel Gibbs, whose responsibility is engaged in the event of new disasters.
