Severe storms and flood risks in France: how to protect yourself with effective flood protection

The weather authorities (Météo France) have placed several departments - notably Languedoc, Auvergne, Franche-Comté and Centre-Est - on orange alert for thunderstorms , due to torrential rain, accompanied by hail, gusts and accumulations of up to 50 to 80 mm in the space of an hour. In addition, 21 departments are on yellow alert for rain-flooding , signaling a significant risk of runoff or flooding, particularly in the south-eastern quarter of the country.

It is therefore crucial, from now on, to put in place anti-flood protection , in order to protect your access (doors, bay windows, garages, etc.), preserve your home and avoid catastrophic situations like in Nantua last February.

Why act today in the face of this weather news?

When water levels rise, it is often too late to act. Planning ahead allows you to:

• Contain water before it enters your home

• Divert its flow to avoid dangerous accumulation

• Block sensitive points such as main access points

Recommended solutions: cofferdams and OBLOC® protections

Among the most effective solutions are OBLOC® cofferdams and flood protection bags or tubes . Their quick installation and reusability make them a reliable barrier against water. They are specially designed to enhance the safety of sensitive areas of your home.

Consider installing security systems for your doors, garages, and patio doors today. While storms and rain are temporary, their consequences—damage, stress, and disruption—can be long-lasting.
