Valencian Government Raises Flood Emergency to Situation 2 in La Safor and the Marina Alta
The Valencian regional emergency authorities said on October 18 that, because of the persistent heavy rain brought by storm Adam, the region had raised its special flood plan to emergency situation 2 in the Marina Alta and La Safor districts.
Vall d'Albaida, La Costera, Marina Baixa and El Comtat were placed at situation 0 the same day. The emergency coordination centre sent repeated Es-Alert mobile warnings to coastal areas over the weekend, urging residents to stay at home and avoid driving.
The Valencia provincial fire consortium had activated a special deployment from 20:00 on October 17 until early Monday. Regional emergency figures show 709 storm-related incidents handled between the afternoon of October 17 and the early hours of October 19, 377 of them in Alicante province and 327 in Valencia province.
