"Xynthia: the risk has been reduced"

The mission regrets in particular the absence of communal backup plans are simple and functional, to organize relief efforts upstream. Prefects should encourage their future development. "

• Furthermore, the report notes "a policy of prevention" unsatisfactory "

Among other things, plans for coastal risk prevention small number of local planning documents often old and outdated.

A situation described as "clearly abnormal" by the mission, which suggests strengthening state capacity to exercise control of legality in urban planning. "
