Résumé
Les inondations historiques de 2019 ont affecté plus de 300 municipalités québécoises et ont forcé l’application de mesures d’urgence, entraînant le déploiement de plusieurs centaines d’intervenants sociaux et municipaux pour aider à l’évacuation de milliers de résidents et leur offrir du soutien pour des périodes variant de quelques semaines à plusieurs mois. Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude qualitative qui a permis de recueillir, lors de 20 rencontres de groupe, le point de vue de 113 intervenants de première et deuxième ligne sur les conséquences à la fois négatives et positives de leur implication auprès des personnes sinistrées et ce, sur leur vie personnelle, familiale, sociale et professionnelle.

Abstract
The historic floods of 2019 affected more than 300 Quebec municipalities and forced the application of emergency measures, leading to the deployment of several hundred social and municipal workers to help evacuate thousands of residents and offer them assistance. Support lasted for periods varying from a few weeks to several months. This article presents the results of a qualitative study which made it possible to collect, during 20 group meetings, the point of view of 113 first- and second-line workers on the consequences, both negative and positive of their involvement with victims and this, in their personal, family, social and professional lives.
