The meaning is 'After the flood'.

The words Après moi, le déluge -- after me (comes) the flood -- are attributed, as a premonition of the French Revolution, to King Louis XV of France (1710-74), although if anyone in fact used the phrase or one like it in this sense, it is more likely to have been his mistress Madame de Pompadour (1721-64), who is said to have predicted Après nous, le déluge : after us (comes) the flood.

The widespread use of that expression in French would be best translated as "after me, comes what may" in the sense that you don't bother.

What is the gender of le personne in french?

"le personne" is incorrect. "Personne" is a feminine noun in French, hence it is always "la personne," whether the person intended is masculine or feminine. The gender of words in French is a grammatical issue and usually has nothing to do with the intrinsic meaning of the words themselves.
