Overview

• Judge Lucía Mayordomo and her team established a makeshift court at a Texaco gas station in Paiporta, the only location with power, during the October 2024 flash flood that claimed 227 lives.
• The team worked through the first 12 hours to assess fatalities and initiate judicial procedures while coordinating with forensic and security personnel.
• The gas station also served as a field hospital, providing care for injured civilians and police amidst the disaster's chaos.
• A comprehensive fatalities database was created within days to support victim identification and expedite judicial processes for affected families.
• A commemorative video released by the TSJCV and CGPJ recounts these efforts, while judicial investigations into the flood response and emergency management continue under judicial secrecy.
