Overview

  • Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra has demanded details of all emergency calls, including those omitted from the initial report, and the complete Es Alert message library for October 29.
  • The court has requested Radio Valencia-Ser interview transcripts and Aemet WhatsApp exchanges to reconstruct early warning communications.
  • Emergency operators testified that the Cecopi center handled nearly 20,000 calls with a single staffer at midday despite a red weather alert issued hours earlier.
  • A CoordCom technician told the court that by 13:45 there were dozens of unprocessed alerts and flood victims trapped atop vehicles and in underground garages.
  • Investigators are examining systemic issues such as delayed mass mobile alerts, unreinforced staffing and the roles of officials Salomé Pradas and Emilio Argüeso.
