05 — Risks & resilience
The risks specific to local territories.
Floods, wildfires, heatwaves, droughts, but also health, social and cyber crises: territories face multiple, overlapping exposures.
Floods, wildfires, heatwaves, droughts, but also health, social and cyber crises: territories face multiple, overlapping exposures.
Unlike private organizations, a local authority manages crises that directly affect the daily lives of its residents — which changes the nature of the response expected.
These risks do not stay in their box. A prolonged drought means usage restrictions, strain on the drinking water supply, cracks in public buildings from clay shrink-swell and a review of insurance terms, all at once: four issues, four different departments.
Since COP16, France is officially a country affected by desertification. At the scale of a local authority, systemic risk reads right there: in the order services give way, and the order in which they will have to be restored.
Three recent events in France: drag the handle to compare before and after.
Planet Labs satellite imagery — La Teste-de-Buch wildfire (Gironde, France), July 2022. Over 6,500 hectares of forest destroyed within days.
Planet Labs satellite imagery — Garonne river flood at La Réole (Gironde, France), February 2026. The river overflowed its banks between Agen and Langon following storm Nils (11–12 February 2026).
Natural-colour satellite imagery — mainland France, 27 May to 9 July 2026. Spring greening gives way to dried-out soils across much of the country — a drought affecting the whole territory, not just isolated areas.
