French Environment Minister pledges resilient reconstruction in storm-hit southern France

Moscow, Oct 8 (Sputnik) French Ecology Minister Barbara Pompili on Thursday gave assurances that the French southeastern department of Alpes-Maritimes would be restored after the massive Storm Alex ravaged settlements in the area.
Last week, the storm brought strong winds and heavy rains worth three month's of rainfall to the French-Italian border department, extending to Italy. The governments of both countries have deployed emergency rescue services to affected areas where floods washed away roads and damaged houses. Over 20 people were declared missing and at least 8 dead due to the natural disaster.
"The Alpes-Maritimes faced a catastrophe of rare violence. We are going to rebuild, but differently, in a more resilient way, better adapted to climate change," Pompili wrote on Twitter.
