Overview

• AEMET’s red alert for torrential rain from September 28–30 triggered top-tier emergency protocols across the province of Valencia.
• Paiporta deployed door-to-door checks in the historic center to brief elderly and ground-floor residents, with local police coordinating alongside social services and Protección Civil.
• Torrent activated its CECOPAL, closed schools and facilities, reinforced patrols, enabled telework, and reported roughly 90 l/m² over three days without serious incidents after preventive drain cleaning.
• Delegada del Gobierno Pilar Bernabé inspected Paiporta’s reconstruction, noting works on collapsed pedestrian bridges were paused during the storms and will resume as waters recede, with multi‑million‑euro investments underway.
• Bernabé said alerts were issued in time—including an Es‑Alert at 15:30 Sunday—and reiterated that the 2024 flood plan was activated five days before 29‑O, while several mayors pressed for clearer, harmonized warnings due to discrepancies between 112 and AEMET.
