València Pilots Audible Emergency Alarms in La Torre as Citywide Training Begins

The rollout marks the start of citywide training under the València + Segura preparedness plan.

Overview

  • City officials opened informational tents in southern pedanías and confirmed a pilot of audible alert sirens in La Torre to guide residents during emergencies.
  • The outreach tents move this week through El Forn d’Alcedo, Pinedo, El Perellonet and Castellar-L’Oliveral to register residents and share training calendars.
  • Municipal services have scheduled September–October sessions in about 50 educational centers and more than 60 social entities, with 115 requests logged so far.
  • The Fire Brigade will support classes with technical guidance on pre-emergency versus emergency levels and how to interpret risk alerts.
  • Training includes what to do before, during and after an incident, promotes a basic family emergency kit and tailors workshops for schools, older adults, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, building on July’s preparation of 300 teachers to reach around 10,000 students.
