Description
Summary:This work aims to analyse the conditions of application of a vulnerability reduction policy in the post-disaster phase, following Hurricane Irma (2017), on the island of Saint-Martin (French part). It focuses more specifically on the revision of the Natural Hazards Prevention Plan (hurricane hazard and marine submersion). The analysis is based in particular on a comparison of the process of drawing up previous regulatory documents on this territory, in order to highlight the difficulties of applying strategic planning to this very small island territory. More broadly, this work leads to a perspective on governance and the interplay of actors between the State and the local authority, and questions the management of the Natural Hazards Prevention Plan.
