The focus now moves to preparedness drills in La Torre alongside formal remembrance measures.

Overview

  • City officials report the majority of the commission’s 109 recommendations are completed, with the rest in progress.
  • The municipal plenary approved commemorative plaques or sculptural elements in La Torre, Castellar-l’Oliveral and Forn d’Alcedo, plus a plaque in the city cemetery honoring victims.
  • The motion extends specialized psychological and mental-health support for those affected, prioritizing more than 1,500 pupils in the southern villages.
  • A large flood drill in La Torre is scheduled for Wednesday to activate the newly installed audible alarm, as the city advances monitoring on the Turia and drainage repairs.
  • The heritage service will open an early-2026 tender to restore the Victims’ Monument to include the 2024 DANA, and the mayor met briefly with leaders of the main victims’ associations before the plenary.
