“This is an unprecedented event, extremely violent, winds could exceed 180 km/h”, explained François-Xavier Bieuville during a press conference. The prefect called on people living in precarious housing, many of whom live in the poorest department in France, to confine themselves to the accommodation centres opened by the authorities.

Raised alert level

Yesterday, the prefect announced that the archipelago was on orange alert.

He called for great vigilance: preparation of equipment and food, limiting movement, putting in safe shelters, storing dangerous objects that could fly away, sheltering animals… These are all points that residents will have to pay attention to.

Schools were also closed on Thursday, and will remain so until further notice ?
