The 2010 Var floods were the result of heavy rainfall in southern France that caused severe floods in the department of the Var in the evening of 15 June 2010. As well as generalized flooding, there were also flash floods. Meteorologists say the floods are the worst in the region since 1827,〔.〕 with more than of rain falling in less than 24 hours.〔.〕 At least 25 people have been killed, and 14 people are still missing.〔.〕 The worst hit municipalities were Les Arcs, Figanières, Roquebrune-sur-Argens, Trans-en-Provence, and the subprefecture of Draguignan.〔.〕
==Damage==
Over 1,000 people were evacuated from their houses, and 175,000 houses were left without electricity. In Draguignan, 236 inmates had to be evacuated when two floors of the prison were flooded.〔 All 440 inmates from the prison were later transferred to other prisons in Cannes, Grasse, Metz, Marseille and Nice. Helicopters were used to evacuate people from the rooftops of their houses.〔 In Frejus, over 1,500 people were rescued by the use of inflatable boats or helicopters. Many tourists were trapped in campsites along the Argens river. People were urged to drink bottled water as it was feared that water supplies in the area were contaminated by the floodwater.〔
Prime Minister François Fillon announced on 18 June that a declaration of natural catastrophe would be issued "as soon as possible": it will concern the cantons of Besse-sur-Issole, Callas, Cotignac, Draguignan, Fayence, Fréjus, Lorgues, Le Luc and Le Muy.〔.〕
