 After a first-level flood alert in 2003, about 100,000 works of art were moved out of Paris, the largest relocation of art since World War II.Much of the art in Paris is kept in underground storage rooms that would have been flooded.A 2002 report by the French government stated the worst-case Seine flood scenario would cost 10 billion euros and cut telephone service for a million Parisians, leaving 200,000 without electricity and 100,000 without gas.
