Emmanuel Macron called, this Wednesday evening, on the “residents of the departments on alert” due to the powerful storm Ciaran, expected during the night from Wednesday to Thursday, not to take “risks” and to stay at home.
“A major storm will hit part of the country this evening. To residents of vigilant departments: don’t take risks. Stay at home and check on your isolated loved ones,” the head of state wrote on social media.
