Flood Risk: Mayors of eligible municipalities can register for Vigicrues Flash!
Updated on 02/10/2026
As part of the National Resilience Day, a full-scale flood exercise was conducted last 24 September, requiring the evacuation of 3 campsites in the middle and lower reaches of Eure.
To help municipalities respond more quickly to episodes of intense rainfall and flash floods, the State has provided since 2017 Vigicrues Flash. This free service sends immediate alerts in case of sudden flood risk on small watercourses not monitored by the standard Vigicrues system, due to their too rapid response times.
Thanks to models combining rainfall and water flow, Vigicrues Flash quickly alerts subscribed municipalities, enabling better anticipation of flooding.
It is associated with the APIC service (intense rainfall warnings at the municipal level), which provides real-time alerts on the exceptional nature of ongoing precipitation at the municipal scale.
A municipality is "eligible" if one or more sections covered by Vigicrues Flash cross its territory. You can consult the [list of eligible municipalities in the department of Eure](https://www.eure.gouv.fr/contenu/telechargement/59899/441846/file/Communes_VigicruesFlash_Dpt27.pdf "Visit the https://www.eure.gouv.fr/contenu/telechargement/59899/441846/file/Communes_VigicruesFlash_Dpt27.pdf website - new window") on the prefecture's website.
