“There is a lot of damage, but it's just material.
It could have been a disaster ”.
This Sunday morning, Régis Sarazin (SE), the mayor of Nanteuil-lès-Meaux, has a tired voice.
Between the elections and the mobilization to face the consequences of the heavy rainfall which hit the Ile-de-France at the end of the day on Saturday, and in particular the Val-de-Marne and the Seine-et-Marne, the elected representative did not not idle.
"Our teams were sentenced until late so that the polling stations could open normally," said the mayor.
However, this will not be the case for two of our schools.

Two schools closed in Nanteuil-lès-Meaux
Indeed, the Dolto kindergarten must undergo several checks and repairs before it can welcome the children again.
"This should be the case on Thursday," said Régis Sarazin.
On the other hand, Oblin school will not reopen before the start of the September school year.
A tree fell squarely on the establishment.
"A minimum service will be provided for the pupils", assures the mayor.
Overall, the entire Meaux region was the most impacted by the torrential rains on Saturday.
In Meaux, the mayor very quickly set up a crisis unit.
"We had a lot of fallen trees, flooded roads," says one in town hall.
Fortunately, there were no injuries.
All of our services are on deck.
This Sunday, the Great War Museum is closed and should reopen on Tuesday.
Another place that will remain closed this Sunday: the Bossuet museum.
The parks and gardens will not be accessible to the public this Sunday as a precaution.
Ditto for Meaux beach, where the tavern tent flew up on Saturday.
200 firefighters' interventions scheduled for Sunday
"We have 200 interventions to process this Sunday in the department," says one to the departmental fire and rescue service (Sdis) of Seine-et-Marne. Depending on the situation, we set up pumping operations. “Saturday, at the height of the storm, the lines of the firefighters were saturated. "You have to dial 18 only in an emergency, would like to remind Sdis." Not when there is a little water in the garden. On Saturday evening, the Seine-et-Marne firefighters went out 212 times.
Also in Meaux, they pumped out the water that threatened the emergency rooms of the hospital. During the intervention, the vehicles were diverted to the Jossigny site. They also had to work to dry out the parking lot of the CRS barracks flooded in 120 m3 of water. The Marne-la-Vallée region was also well affected. In Champs-sur-Marne, a data center found itself under 220 m3 of water. The Disney vaccine park and the Val d'Europe shopping center were not spared either.
