Overview

• The Municipal Fire Service mounted a 1,200‑watt siren with eight speakers designed to project alerts across roughly 2–3 kilometers.
• A drill scheduled for next week will test audibility and effectiveness to inform decisions on broader deployment.
• The system can be triggered remotely from the Firefighters’ Telecommunications Center, with options for CISE linkage or TETRA network integration.
• Training under Plan València + Segura and a study of residents in ground‑floor homes, older adults living alone, and people with disabilities are underway to shape evacuation and confinement support.
• City leaders place the pilot within a 2026–2031 critical‑infrastructure program budgeted at €120 million that also includes river‑level cameras and an EU‑funded disaster‑management project, while residents ask for advance notice of drills to avoid alarm.
