Risks and alerts

The municipality of Val d'Isère is home to a number of major risks, both natural (flooding, avalanches, falling rocks, seismic events, etc.) and technological (transport of hazardous goods, etc.).

Avalance du Charvet

One of the best preventive measures is to avoid building in the most exposed areas. Visit Natural hazard prevention plan (PPRN) regulates land use according to the natural risks to which it is subject. These regulations, which apply to urban planning document (PLU) ranges from a ban on building to the possibility of building under certain conditions.

Even so, we are not immune to major natural or technological disasters, and our role is to do everything we can to ensure your safety. A communal safety plan was developed to ensure the protection and safety of the population during a crisis.

The Plan communal de sauvegarde describes the organization and implementation of measures to meet legal obligations such as :

  • identification of "known risks" and "available resources" (human and material resources),
  • determining "immediate measures to safeguard and protect people",
  • determining "the organization required to disseminate warnings and safety instructions",
  • how to "implement measures to accompany, support and inform the population",
  • the DICRIM (Documents d'informations communal sur les risques majeurs).
