‘It was in Alès that I first understood the vital importance of communications,’ explains Samuel Glairon-Rappaz of the Gard Prefecture’s Town Planning and Local Development Department.
“V Alèsu sem prvič razumel življenski pomen komunikacij,“ pripoveduje Samuel Glairon-Rappaz iz Urada za prostorsko ureditev in razvoj na prefekturi v Gardu.
‘It is really quite something to see a town of 50 000 inhabitants completely cut offfrom the world in 21st century France.’
„Biti priča, kako je lahko v Franciji 21. stoletja mesto s 50 000 prebivalci popolnoma odsekano od sveta, dejansko naredi vtis!“ Po divji in nenadni poplavi reke Gardon, ki je poškodovala vso komunikacijsko infrastrukturo, vključno s cestami in antenami za mobilno telefonijo, je naselje Alès ostalo popolnoma ločeno od sveta celih štiriindvajset ur.

The Solidarity Fund and risk prevention of Alès Hospital (600 beds), which was also seriously affected by flooding.
Solidarnostni sklad in preprečevanje nevarnosti tra v Alèsu (600 postelj), ki ga je poplava močno poškodovala.
‘These were all investments that we could not have made without the Fund,’ says Michel Gil, Financial Manager of the hospital that serves a population of 120 000.
„Toliko investicij, ki jih brez Sklada ne bi mogli izvesti,“ vztraja Michel Gil, finančni direktor te bolnišnice, ki nudi storitve 120 000 osebam.
‘It happened on 9 September at 6.30 in the morning … The Gardon rose to 6 m above the parapet,’ remembers François Saix, Director of the 200-bed Bonnefon Clinic in the town centre.
“Prišlo je 9. novembra ob 6.30 zjutraj ... Reka Gardon je presegla zid za en meter,“ se spominja François Saix, direktor klinike Bonnefon, zgradbe z 200 posteljami v samem centru Alèsa.
‘A gigantic wave of water suddenly burst into the lobby.
„Naenkrat je velikanski val vode prodrl skozi vhodno avlo!
It was fortunate that there were no patients in the operating theatre in the basement when it happened.
Sreča je bila, da je prišel ravno ob uri, ko ni bilo v operacijskem bloku, ki se nahaja v kletnih prostorih, nobenega pacienta!
They wouldn’t have stood a chance. The few members of staff who were there at the time managed to flee just before the water engulfed everything.’
Bolniki ne bi imeli nobene možnosti … Nekaj članov osebja, ki so bili v tistem trenutku na licu mesta, so imeli ravno toliko časa, da so lahko pobegnili, preden je voda vse pogoltnila.“
Gard’s education sector received EUR 2.8 million, distributed among countless crèches, schools, colleges and other socio-educational establishments.
Sektor šolstva je prejel 2,8 milijona evrov. Pomoč Solidarnostnega sklada so dobile jasli, osnovne šole, srednje šole in druge vzgojno-izobraževalne ustanove v Gardu.
In Bagnols, for example, Les Hamelines, a medico-educational institute for young people in severe difficulty, received almost EUR 270 000 to repair its premises, much of which was flooded when the River Cèze burst its banks.
V Bagnolsu, na primer, je inštitut zdravstvene šole z imenom „Les Hamelines“ prejel 270 000 eurov za obnovo prostorov, ki jih je v velikem delu poplavila reka Cèze.
‘Without Europe’s intervention, we would have had to close this wonderful building for good and move elsewhere.
„Brez pomoči Evrope bi morali to čudovito stavbo zapreti in se preseliti drugam.
God knows where and when,’ say the institute’s Director, Yves Abad, and President, Jean-Claude Tichadou.
Samo Bog ve kam in kdaj,“ sta v en glas potrdila Yves Abad in Jean-Claude Tichadou, direktor in predsednik centra za mlade v težavah.
The victim of disastrous flooding just a few weeks after Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria, Gard was among the first regions to benefit from the EUSF set up on 11 November 2002.
Gard je bil med prvimi upravičenci do sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije, ki je bil ustanovljen 11. novembra 2002, nekaj mesecev po silnih poplavah v Nemčiji, na Češkem in v Avstriji.
Exactly one month later, on 11 December 2002, the European Commission decided to grant France aid of EUR 21 million from the EUSF to finance emergency measures in the département.
Mesec dni kasneje se je Evropska komisija odločila Franciji podeliti pomoč Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije v višini 21 milijonov eurov za financiranje nujnih aktivnosti v Gardu.
A total of 115 operations received aid from the Fund, the amounts ranging from EUR 2 000 to over EUR 2 million.
V celoti so iz Sklada financirali 115 projektov v zelo različnih zneskih, od dva tisoč pa do dva milijona eurov.
Speaking to the beneficiaries on the ground, one quickly understands how the Solidarity Fund makes it possible to save structures that are both useful and necessary, but which lack the financial resources to survive such a disaster.
Ko srečujemo upravičence na terenu, kaj kmalu razumemo, da Solidarnostni sklad ohranja pri življenju nujno potrebne ustanove, ki brez teh finančnih sredstev ne bi mogle same prebroditi posledic take nesreče.
Without the EUSF, years of community work, for example, would be reduced to nothing.
Brez Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije bi bila izničena leta skupnega dela.
Far from being a kind of ‘humanitarian fund for the rich’, the Solidarity Fund is a genuine tool for redevelopment.
Lahko bi si mislili, da je Solidarnostni sklad „humanitarna pomoč za bogate“, vendar to še zdaleč ni res.
The operating theatre has been relocated to a new unit installed on the roof of the Bonneton clinic.

‘Were it not for the EUSF, the bridge would have long remained in the state the Gardon left it,’ says Bernard Pouverel, Director of the Gard Bridge Managing Authority.
“Brez Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije bi most na reki Gard ostal še dolgo v stanju, v kakršnem ga je pustila reka,“ je potrdil Bernard Pouverel, direktor ustanove, ki upravlja z mostom na reki Gard.
‘We would have done the most urgent jobs and the bridge would have remained fragile, despite the fact that floods are bound to recur.’
„Če ne bi pohiteli, bi objekt ostal krhek, medtem ko se bodo poplave zagotovo ponovile“.
As the fourth most visited archaeological site in France, attracting 1.4 million visitors a year, there could be no question of cutting corners.
Za četrto najbolj obiskano arheološko znamenitost v Franciji (1,4 milijona obiskovalcev letno) nismo skoparili s sredstvi.
With an investment of EUR 2.2 million, it is the single most ambitious operation financed by the Solidarity Fund in Gard.
Vložili smo 2,2 milijona eurov. To je najbolj ambiciozna posamična investicija Solidarnostnega sklada v Gardu.
In accordance with the EUSF regulations, the aid was first used for infrastructure repairs.
Skladno z uredbo o Solidarnostnem skladu Evropske unije je bila pomoč v prvi vrsti namenjena za obnovo infrastruktur.
In Gard, restoring water and transport systems cost EUR 4.5 million with a further EUR 6.5 million allocated to health and education equipment.
Obnova in zagon vodnih sistemov in transporta je stala 4,5 milijona evrov, zdravstvena in šolska oprema pa 6,3 milijona.
As the highest Roman aqueduct bridge in existence, the Gard bridge is an internationally renowned heritage site as well as a popular destination for local walkers and bathers.
Najvišji znani rimski most – akvadukt, dediščina mednarodnih razsežnosti, za lokalno prebivalstvo pa sprehajališče in kopališče, je prejel 9,833 milijona eurov od Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR).
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) had earlier allocated EUR 9.833 million to better protect and improve the site, with a museum, cafeteria and ‘controlled’ shopping area, complete with car parks placed a discreet distance away.
To je omogočilo zaščito in razvoj dodatne vrednosti objekta. Pridobili so namreč še muzej, kavarno in „nadzorovan“ nakupovalni center z nekoliko oddaljenim parkiriščem.
‘And just when all that was starting up, the Gardon decides to burst its banks!’ exclaims Bernard Pouverel.
„In ravno ko je vse to začelo delovati, je reka Gard naredila svoje in odnesla bregove!“ objokuje Bernard Pouverel.
In Alès, for example, the Bonnefon Clinic suffered damage estimated at EUR 5.4 million.
V Alèsu, na primer, je imela klinika Bonnefon 5,4 milijona eurov škode.
Although insurers met four fifths of the amount, that still left an uncompensated loss of EUR 1 million.
Zavarovalnice so pokrile štiri petine zneska. Zmanjkal je milijon evrov.
The EUR 783 382 allocated from the EUSF could not have been more welcome.
Dodelitev pomoči iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije v višini 783 382 eurov je bila dobrodošla.
An immediate instalment of 15 % released at the beginning of 2003 made it possible to restore care structures in temporary buildings and to transfer the surgical services — including the operating theatre — to the upper floors. floors.
Predujem v višini 15 % na začetku leta 2003 je omogočil postavitev zdravstvenih struktur v začasnih stavbah in preselitev kirurških oddelkov skupaj z operacijskim blokom v nadstropja.
The Solidarity Fund supplements other public aid, makes up for shortfalls in private compensation and also provides those little ‘extras’ that make all the difference, especially in terms of prevention.
Solidarnostni sklad dopolnjuje ostale oblike pomoči, začasno olajša čakanje na zasebna povračila in dodaja majhen, vendar pomemben prispevek v obliki preventivnega dela.
‘The EUR 311 000 from the EUSF enabled us to quickly repair the damage and also to take preventive measures, such as installing waterproof panels and a device to ensure the continuous functioning of generators,’ stresses Jean-Louis Tetu, Deputy Director
„311 000 eurov iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije nam je omogočilo hitro popravilo škode in sprejetje preventivnih ukrepov, kot so postavitev vodoodpornih panojev in priprav, ki jamčijo delovanje generatorjev,“ poudarja Jean-Louis Tetu, pomočnik direktorja Zdravstvenega cen-
The Solidarity Fund intervened on two fronts. It allocated EUR 1.36 million to shore up 460 m of the Gardon riverfront, and a further EUR 840 000 for a compact leisure area to replace the former terraces that were swept away by the flooding river.
Solidarnostni sklad je torej posredoval na dva načina: 1,36 milijona eurov so namenili za zajezitev reke Gard na razdalji 400 m, 840 000 eurov pa so vložili v prostor za prostočasne dejavnosti, ki je nadomestil nekdanje terase, ki jih je odnesla reka.
‘We had to strike whilst the iron was hot,’ continues the Director.
„Potrebno je bilo kovati železo, dokler je bilo vroče,“ nadaljuje direktor.
‘If we had left it, it would have been difficult at a later date to quickly find the EUR 1.3 million needed to rebuild the embankments.
„Kasneje bi bilo težko na hitro najti 1,3 milijona eurov za rekonstrukcijo zajezitvenega zidu.
Conveniently as it happened, construction teams were still in place putting the finishing touches to the works financed by the ERDF.
Dobro je bilo tudi to, da so bile ekipe delavcev še na licu mesta, ker so zaključevali ureditev, ki jo je financiral ESRR.
The EUSF also speeded up the cleaning-up operations.’
Še več, Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije je pospešil operacije čiščenja.“

Another key role of the Fund is to secure prevention infrastructures and the ‘immediate protection of the cultural heritage’.
Drugi ključni cilj Sklada je bil zaščita preventivnih infrastruktur ter „takojšnja zaščita kulturne dediščine“.
In Gard, EUR 5 million was allocated to clearing the debris obstructing the rivers and cleaning major riverbeds, with EUR 2.1 million allocated to an ecological repair of the dykes and dams.
V Gardu je odvažanje naplavin in čiščenje glavnega rečnega korita stalo 5 milijonov evrov, 2,1 miljona eurov pa je bilo porabljenih za rehabilitacijo ter ureditev nasipov in zapor na ekološki način.
This aspect of the EUSF was greatly facilitated by the presence of river basin planning management committees charged with managing the whole issue of rivers flowing from the same basin.
Obstoj „medobčinskega odbora za vodenje planiranja kotline“, ki je zadolžen za upravljanje z vso problematiko naraščajočih voda v tej kotlini, je še pospešil izvajanje projektov obnove.

‘One could say that the EUSF benefited two groups,’ says Chantal Dumontel, Director of State Actions at the Gard Prefecture. ‘The “official” final beneficiaries, of course, but also all the State services that were forced to adopt original solutions to ensure flexible management and even sometimes revolutionary new practices.
„Lahko rečemo, da je imel Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije dve kategoriji upravičencev,“ trdi Chantal Dumontel, direktorica Državnih aktivnosti v prefekturi v Gardu: „To so seveda končni ‘uradni’ upravičenci, vendar ne smemo pozabiti na državne službe, ki so morale biti izvirne pri zagotavljanju prožnosti pri vodenju in včasih revolucionarne pri praktičnem izvajanju.
In this respect, the Solidarity Fund was a laboratory of best practice.’
S tega vidika je Solidarnostni sklad laboratorij dobrih praks.“
The EUR 21 million the EUSF made available for Gard on 26 December 2002 was used in full between March and December 2003, in accordance with the obligation to use EUSF aid within a single budgetary year.
Sredstva Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije v višini 21 milijonov evrov, ki jih je dobil Gard 26. decembra 2002, so bila v celoti porabljena med marcem in decembrom 2003 v skladu z obvezo, da je treba sredstva iz Solidarnostnega sklada porabiti v času enega proračunskega leta.
This very tight management schedule requires efficient and responsible partners.
Tako kratek rok upravljanja zahteva odzivnost in učinkovito partnerstvo.
The EUSF thus forced not only the various public partners (State, region, General Council, municipalities) to work closely together but also the contracting authorities and private entrepreneurs.
Solidarnostni sklad Evropske unije je torej prisilil k tesnemu skupnemu delu tako različne javne udeležence (državo, deželo, generalni svet, občine) kot tudi obrtnike in podjetnike.
‘We then operated as a “one-stop shop” with a partnership management style, based on a reconstruction unit, weekly programming committees, monthly follow-up committees, etc.
Uporabili smo partnersko metodo dela, ki temelji na eni skupini za rekonstrukcijo, odborih za tedensko programiranje, odborih za mesečno spremljanje ...
Things were made easier by the fact that the EUSF regulations are much simpler and more flexible than the ERDF regulations.
Vse to je olajšalo dejstvo, da so pravila Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije bolj enostavna in prilagodljiva kot pravila ESRR.
The “Marshall Plan” aspect of the EUSF is very effective.
„Marshallov plan“ Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije je zelo učinkovit.
Having a very tight deadline with a fixed cut-off date is particularly motivating for everyone to make a maximum effort.’ ort.’
Nenazadnje je bilo prav dejstvo, da smo imeli zelo kratek rok, neke vrste motivacija.“
In December 2003, Gard was again hit by flooding, although of a very different kind as this time it was the Rhône which flooded.
Decembra 2003 so Gard zopet prizadele poplave, vendar tokrat drugačne, saj je šlo za naraščanje vode v reki Roni. Reka je petnajst dni prestopala bregove po mejah departmajev Gard, Vaucluse in Bouches-du-Rhône.
Twenty-six municipalities were affected.
Prizadetih je bilo 26 občin.
The excellent management of the 2002 EUSF grants certainly argued in favour of granting further funds in 2003 following this second wave of flooding.
Dobro upravljanje sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije leta 2002 nam je bilo v pomoč, da smo dobili pomoč tudi v letu 2003.
The total amount was EUR 19.625 million, to be spread between the three départements.
Znesek v višini 19,626 milijona eurov smo razdelili med tri departmaje.
The restoration to its original state of the Saint-Nicolas bridge, which lies a dozen kilometres upstream of the Gard bridge, is a remarkable example of the synergies that were imposed by implementation of the Solidarity Fund.
Podobne obnove je bil deležen tudi most Saint-Nicolas, ki leži okrog deset kilometrov stran od mosta na reki Gard. To je izjemen primer sinergije, ki jo je na nek način vsilila vzpostavitev Solidarnostnega sklada.
Although its arches rise to 19 m, this 13th century bridge spanning the Gardon gorges was submerged under 2.7 m of water in September 2002, the river having reached a height of almost 22 m at this point.
Kljub 19 metrov visokim lokom je bil most iz 13. stoletja, ki se vzpenja nad dolino reke Gardon, preplavljen za 2,70 metra. Reka je na tem mestu dosegla skoraj 22 metrov višine.
The whole upper section of the bridge was destroyed.
Ves zgornji del mostu je bil uničen.
As this is a strategic road bridge and a very symbolic site for the population of Gard, it was decided to repair the bridge in a way that would do justice to the priceless heritage.
Ker je most strateško cestno pomemben in ima obenem tudi močan simbolen pomen za prebivalce Garda, so se odločili, da ga popravijo in tako spoštujejo dediščino.
‘We hesitated about turning to the EUSF due to the time constraint,’ explains Michel Ravet, Head of the Gard Prefecture’s Town Planning and Local Development Office.
„Oklevali smo pri uporabi sredstev iz Solidarnostnega sklada Evropske unije, ker smo imeli premalo časa,“ je jasno povedal Michel Ravet, vodja Urada za lokalno prostorsko ureditev in razvoj na prefekturi v Gardu.
‘Everything had to be completed before November 2003, which meant eight months at the most.
„Vse je moralo biti končano do novembra 2003, časa je bilo največ osem mesecev.
It was a real challenge but we pulled it off.’ In the course of five months, all the financiers, protectors and contractors involved in the Saint-Nicolas bridge restoration project consulted, negotiated, awarded contracts and completed works that involved ‘cutting hundreds of stones, none of which had the same dimensions, to size,’ stresses engineer Claude Cap, who managed the works, as he shows the plans.
To je bil pravi izziv in bili smo uspešni.“ Most Saint-Nicolas je dokaz, da so se lahko v petih mesecih vsi kreditorji, zaščitniki, in podjetniki uskladili in končali delo na delovišču, čeprav „je bilo potrebno po meri obdelati stotine kamnov, ker nobeden ni imel istih dimenzij,“ kot poudarja inženir Claude Cap, ki je bil zadolžen za vodenje del.
‘We have not taken out a subscription to the Solidarity Fund’, stresses the Prefect.
„Ne bomo abonenti Solidarnostnega sklada,“ poudarja prefekt.
‘In return for Europe’s valuable help, there must be risk prevention and that is primarily a question of spatial planning and sustainable development: people must be encouraged to return to town centre locations rather than continuing to build new housing estates.
„Namesto dragocene pomoči Evrope moramo več narediti za preprečevanje nevarnosti, kar pomeni predvsem ureditev teritorija in trajnostni razvoj: treba je spodbujati ljudi, naj se raje nastanijo v utrjenih mestih, kot da vztrajajo na svojih zemljiščih.
It is not easy to win acceptance for this.
Težko jih je prepričati, da to sprejmejo.
The fact that every application for a new construction will now be refused if flooding of more than 50 cm is possible is not a particularly popular measure, but we are making progress.’
Dejstvo, da od sedaj zavrnemo vsako prošnjo za gradbeno dovoljenje, če na zemljišču obstaja nevarnost poplave za več kot 50 cm, ni posebno priljubljen ukrep, vendar bomo uspeli ...“

The Solidarity Fund to overcome the terrible 2002 earthquake
Solidarnostni sklad za premostitev posledic hudega potresa v letu 2002
Corrado Seller, General Director, Italian Civil Protection it soon became clear that large numbers of people had been made homeless and lacked the resources to find alternative accommodation.
Corrado Seller, generalni direktor, Italijanska civilna zaščita bivališča, ki bi omogočila oškodovancem kolikor toliko normalno življenje do konca obnove.
On 31 October and 1 November 2002, the southern Italian regions of Molise and Apulia were hit by a series of earthquakes reaching 5.4 on the Richter scale.
Iskali smo primerne prostore za namestitev začasnih bivališč. Večino prebivalcev San Giuliana di Puglia smo morali preseliti nekaj kilometrov iz mesta.
The tremors struck many municipalities in the provinces of Campobasso and Foggia, placing a large proportion of the population in difficulty.
Izbira kraja je bila posledica kompromisa med varnostjo in nujno obnovitvijo socio-ekonomskih povezav.
Most places lying inside the vast earthquake zone suffered material damage.
Poleg postavitve bivališč za približno tisoč stanovalcev smo popravili še šole, trgovine, pisarne in cerkev.
The area of San Giuliano di Puglia was most seriously affected, the tremors totally destroying the small town, including a school in which 27 pupils and one teacher lost their lives.
Tako smo, čakajoč na obnovo San Giuliana di Puglia, naredili vas iz lesenih koč.
It proved necessary, for example, to transfer most of the inhabitants from San Giuliano di Puglia to a small hill located a few kilometres outside the town.
Regiji Molise in Apulija na jugu Italije sta 31. oktobra in 1. novembra 2002 doživeli več tresljajev moči 5,4 po Richterjevi lestvici.
The choice of site was a compromise between the need for security and a need to restore socioeconomic links.
Potres je prizadel številne občine v provincah Campobasso in Foggia in postavil velik del prebivalcev v težak položaj.
Schools, shops, offices and a church were all set up alongside accommodation facilities for 1 000 residents.
Večina krajev v notranjosti potresnega območja je pretrpela hudo materialno škodo. Predel San Giuliano di Puglia je bil najbolj poškodovan.
Around 5 000 men — fi refi ghters, police, troops and voluntary workers — were mobilised to respond to a dramatic situation made even worse by difficult access and poor weather conditions.
Sunki so popolnoma uničili majhno vas in rušenje šolske stavbe je povzročilo smrt 27 učencev in enega učitelja.
The scene after the earthquake was one of utter desolation.
Na kraj dogodka so takoj prišle vse enote civilne zaščite.
About 12 000 people had to be evacuated from their homes and transferred to makeshift accommodation: 2 737 tents, 518 caravans and 14 meal distribution services were provided. Over and above these initial emergency measures,
Okoli 5 000 ljudi – gasilci, policisti, vojaki in prostovoljci – je prišlo, da bi pomagalo pri reševanju dramatičnih razmer, ki so jih oteževale še ovirana dostopnost na območja potresa in slabe vremenske razmere.
The total cost of the damage caused by the 2002 earthquake was estimated at EUR 1 500 million.
Celoten znesek škode, ki jo je povzročil potres leta 2002, je znašal 1 500 milijonov eurov.
On 8 December 2003, the European Commission awarded Solidarity Fund aid of approximately EUR 31 million to Molise and Apulia.
Evropska komisija je 8.decembra 2003 dodelila pomoč Solidarnostnega sklada za Molise in Apulijo v znesku približno 31 milijonov eurov.
