Past events such as the 2015 and 2016 Paris and Nice attacks, 2015 Var floods, recent Herminia and Ivo storms, and the 2020 Covid pandemic have activated similar solidarity measures, including assistance for 2023 Nanterre riot victims, southwestern fires, Corsica storms, and autumn 2024 storms, as well as financial support against soaring inflation for employees with disability pensions. This is part of the HCR Bien-Être program, which also includes health prevention efforts.
