Canary Islands Lift Flood-Risk Pre-Alert as Storm Bruna Weakens, Rain Downgraded to Pre-Alert
The Government of the Canary Islands announced on November 8 that its Directorate General for Emergencies ended the flood-risk pre-alert for the whole archipelago from 11:30 that Sunday, as the front associated with storm Bruna reached the islands weaker than initially forecast and expected rainfall fell.
At the same time, the rain alert for the western islands and Gran Canaria was downgraded to a pre-alert, while Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Graciosa also remained in pre-alert. Parts of the western islands could still see 20mm in one hour and 60mm in 12 hours that day, mainly until the evening.
The flood pre-alert was lifted under the PEINCA flood plan and the rain change under the PEFMA adverse-weather plan. The Directorate General said it would keep monitoring weather and river conditions and reactivate the plans if needed.
