It has been a month since the heavy rains caused by DANA devastated a large part of the province of Valencia, leaving behind 222 dead and four missing. These were days of great tension, work, tears, solidarity and efforts to understand how everything changed in just 30 days. For this reason and to avoid hoaxes and misinformation, it is advisable to carry out a review of some of the hardest hit locations.
Paiporta may have become the epicenter of the disaster, and this is not surprising because it 45 people lost their lives.

Even at church the bells can already be heardeven though there are still no benches to sit on.
The situation is different in Chiva, where it seems that time has not passed. Some of its buildings did not collapse on the same day, November 29, but They did so some time later, which increased the scale of the tragedy.. Despite everything, its neighbors can now look over one of the bridges which collapsed thanks to a footbridge.
It’s even more different in Sedaví, where traffic has already returned to its streetseven though a month ago it seemed almost impossible to leave the house. However, despite the improvement, there is still PPE is necessary to be able to continue working on more than expensive cleaning tasks.
Perhaps one of the most striking images left by the storm is that of the bridge. Picanya collapses and is razedwhich cut off one part of the city from the other. Well, almost coinciding with this date, the neighbors They are connected again thanks to the bridge that the army built.
It is true that there is still a lot to do, many people who are still walking in the mud and who cannot get rid of the fear that a disaster of this magnitude will happen again, even if they are Slow and costly progress is being made.
