The National Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has updated its weather forecast for the next few hours and activated the red alert in the province of Valencia due to torrential rains, which could reach 180 liters per square meter, a situation that it has been maintained since this Wednesday and tomorrow Thursday. This new alert comes just two weeks after the storm devastated several Valencian regions, affecting Horta Sud and towns like Utiel or Chiva and causing the death of more than 200 people.
The emergencies of the Generalitat Valenciana, whose management of DANA was strongly questioned two weeks ago, sent this afternoon, around 5 p.m., a message via the Es-Alert system to the cell phones of the towns of Horta South, in which they communicated a civil message. Protection alert due to the new episode of rain, limiting the circulation of private vehicles, “except essential, in the municipalities affected by the floods of Rambla del Poyo, Río Magro and the southern districts of València” from 6 p.m. Wednesday and until 6 p.m. THURSDAY.”
