The Collectivité of Saint Martin is located in a geographical area prone to cyclones. During the hurricane period, which generally lasts from June to November, it is crucial to prepare and follow certain instructions to ensure everyone&#39;s safety.

Cyclonic period: instructions to follow

Before a cyclone arrives, it is essential to secure your home by reinforcing windows, doors and checking the condition of the roof. Prepare an emergency kit containing drinking water, non-perishable food, medications, a first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, flashlights and spare batteries. Stay informed with weather reports and Collectivité announcements and make sure you know the location of the nearest emergency shelters. Finally, remember to protect your important administrative documents by placing them in waterproof and easily accessible bags.

During a hurricane, it is imperative to stay indoors, away from windows and doors to avoid injury from broken glass or flying debris. Listen carefully to news bulletins and follow instructions from authorities. Avoid using electrical appliances and stay sheltered until official messages confirm that the danger has passed. If you are in an area at risk of flooding, follow the evacuation instructions given by the Collectivité.

After the cyclone passes, wait for official confirmation that the storm is over before going out. If necessary, carefully assess the damage to your home, avoiding downed electrical wires and unstable structures. Report any danger or significant damage immediately to the appropriate authorities. Avoid flooded or damaged areas and do not consume water that has not been marked as safe to drink. Follow the instructions of emergency services and participate in community clean-up and reconstruction efforts, while respecting current safety guidelines.

Saint-Martin is subject to various natural risks due to its geographical location and climatic characteristics. Knowing these risks is essential to prepare and respond effectively when needed.

What are the natural risks in Saint-Martin?

It is in the Antilles that the seismic hazard is highest, being located at the level of the subduction zone of the North American and South American plates under the Caribbean plate. Saint-Martin is also located in a zone with high seismicity, the seismic zoning is 5 on a scale of 5. The earthquake itself does not kill, it is the collapse of buildings, poorly designed or poorly constructed, which can cause victims: the best prevention against this risk is therefore to build earthquake-resistant buildings.

A flood is a submersion, rapid or slow, of an area usually out of water. However, flooding is not unknown in certain neighborhoods in Saint-Martin. The hydrographic network in our region is essentially made up of gullies which only flow during heavy rainfall, when the soils are saturated with water. Also, soil waterproofing (urban development) limits the infiltration of precipitation and increases runoff. In any urbanized area, the danger is of being swept away, isolated or even drowned. Collective (maintenance and works) and individual (adaptation of constructions) measures, taken and recommended, allow the considerable reduction of damage caused by flooding.

Induced effects of earthquakes or high water saturation of soils, land movements can manifest themselves by sliding, collapses or falling rock blocks. Taking this hazard into account in the development aims to mitigate damage by reducing its intensity (protection work against risk) but, in the case of large-scale movement, evacuation measures are required. to adopt for your safety.

Tsunamis are a series of very long waves whose origin is most often the effect of an earthquake, a volcanic eruption or even a landslide. Depending on the distance at which tsunamis are capable of causing damage, we distinguish between local tsunamis, regional tsunamis and distant tsunamis or tele-tsunamis. If the ground moves strongly and for a long time under your feet, if you notice a sudden rise or retreat of water or in the event of an alert from the authorities, only one word of advice: head quickly to the heights!

Each year, before the start of the hurricane season, the Collectivité and the Prefecture organize preparation meetings with all the services and stakeholders concerned, in order to remind everyone of the different phases of the alert and to make an inventory of the means implemented in the event of a major event. Informed and made aware by the media, the population applies preparation and protection instructions in the event of a threat or confirmation of a threat (checking material and food reserves, preparing and protecting the home, removing or securing any object that could turn into a projectile).

The natural risks in Saint-Martin are varied and potentially devastating. It is essential to stay informed and prepared to minimize the impacts of these events. The Collectivité of Saint-Martin is actively working to raise awareness, prepare and implement protective measures to ensure the safety of its residents.

The hurricane period can be a time of great worry, but by following good practices, you can ensure your safety and that of your loved ones. The Collectivité of Saint Martin provides you with the essential guidelines to follow before, during and after a cyclone.

Cyclonic period: what to do?

Preparation and vigilance are the keys to getting through the hurricane period safely. The Collectivité of Saint Martin encourages you to follow these instructions strictly. By staying informed and taking the necessary measures, we can all help keep our territory safe during this difficult time.

The French Association for the Prevention of Natural and Technological Disasters (AFPCNT) has the mission of promoting a culture of risk and developing the resilience of populations and territories in the face of major risks. It carries out this mission in mainland France and in overseas territories.
