56. As soon as any of the forces of nature contemplated in section 24 produces effects that are such as to reduce the yield of an insured crop, the insured must with the least possible delay notify the Régie, on pain of forfeiture of his right to any indemnity.
The insured must also with the least possible delay carry out the emergency measures necessary to avoid or reduce any loss in yield. The carrying out of such measures shall entitle him to compensation equal to the amount of the expenses incurred and allowed by the Régie, as determined by regulation. Such compensation shall not exceed the difference between the amount of the indemnity that would be payable in the case of total loss and the amount of the indemnity actually paid during the year.
