Residents of Brétigny-sur-Orge affected by summer drought damage are invited to report to the Town Hall to strengthen the municipal file for natural disaster recognition.

Homes with cracks, subsidence, water infiltration, or doors/windows that are difficult to close due to the summer drought are eligible. The Town Hall encourages reports to build a strong case with the competent authorities.
Once testimonials are gathered, the file will be sent to the Prefecture for review by an inter-ministerial commission. If approved, a natural disaster decree will be published in the Official Journal, allowing affected individuals to claim from their insurance.
To report damages, citizens can submit their information (contact details, nature of damage, location, date of appearance, and photos) via the Espace Citoyens on the Town's website, under the 'Catastrophe Naturelle' section, or by mail to the Direction des Services Techniques (52, rue de la Mairie).
It is reminded that applications for drought-related phenomena are typically processed in the year following the event. Therefore, damages occurring in the summer of 2026 cannot be processed before 2027.
