The Gironde prefecture announced on Wednesday the release of €300,000 in emergency aid for communities affected by the massive wildfire. This funding is intended to finance urgent work in the areas ravaged by the blaze, which burned through 42,000 hectares. The scale of the destruction makes these funds essential to quickly begin the initial restoration efforts.

A steering committee for reconstruction

The massive fire is now under control, having left a lasting mark on the region. The affected municipalities are now awaiting structured support to organize their reconstruction. The prefect of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region has confirmed the creation of a steering committee tasked with coordinating support for the affected areas and their residents.

This initial funding provides an immediate response to the needs expressed on the ground. Priority work can begin without waiting for longer-term support mechanisms. The steering committee will define the allocation procedures and the intervention schedule for each of the affected areas.
