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?

The Major Risk Prevention Department aims to minimize the consequences of natural or industrial disasters and to ensure the safety and preparation of the Collectivité in the face of major events.

Major Risk Prevention Department

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.

Faced with the natural risks inherent to the geographical location of Saint-Martin, the Collectivité is committed.
