The rules governing the right to communication of administrative documents on which decisions are based to recognise or not to recognise a municipality as being in a state of natural disaster are laid down by the provisions of Chapter I of Title I of Book III of the Code of Relations between the Public and the Administration.
The procedures for communicating administrative documents, in particular expert reports, on which these decisions are based, are mentioned in the order referred to in the fourth paragraph of article L. 125-1 or in its appendices. They indicate in particular the administrative department to which the request for communication must be made.
