In response to recent drought periods, the Servon town hall is launching a survey of cracks found on homes to request recognition as a natural disaster area from the prefecture.

Recent drought periods may have caused cracks to appear on the walls of some homes in Servon. The town hall has decided to act collectively so that insurance can cover the necessary repairs.
For this to happen, the municipality must be recognized as being in a state of natural disaster. The Town Hall is therefore conducting a survey of reports to support this request to the prefecture.
The steps for affected residents are as follows: take two or three precise photos of all cracks, then send an email to the town hall's urban planning department (urbanisme@servon.fr) describing the damage.
This survey through the town hall is essential to initiate the collective procedure for natural disaster recognition.
