In the commune of Carrefour, the Communal Committee of the Civil Protection reports several houses flooded and the evacuation of their inhabitants in place on. Emergency teams remain mobilized and the damage assessment is still underway for the publication of a consolidated balance sheet as soon as possible. The DPC calls for vigilance the populations of these communes and other areas at risk of flooding, landslides... in the country and asks them to apply scrupulously the practical safety instructions in case of showers and thunderstorms.
