Overview

• After five months and eight sessions, the commission finalized a nearly 40-page manual of emergency best practices following the October 2024 floods.
• The draft plan will go to the Diputación pleno in the coming months and undergo consultation with mayors before final approval.
• It calls for inventories of public machinery, personnel rosters, water treatment plants, purchase of mud pumps and mapping of temporary storage sites for debris.
• Communication upgrades include SMS alerts, municipal radio broadcasts, public information panels and a proposed provincial data cloud for at-risk municipalities.
• Local officials warn the plan may remain 'en papel mojado' without full municipal engagement, while the president of the Diputación notes continued fear among residents ahead of autumn flood risks.
