Heatwave risk

Impacted by climate disruption, areas around the Mediterranean can experience periods of intense heat. These can have serious consequences for the human organism, particularly for vulnerable people.

In Montpellier, the Centre communal d'actions sociales (CCAS) provides support to residents registered on the Registre des personnes isolées. In times of heatwave, the City, the Metropole and the CCAS implement actions aimed at informing and supporting populations.
