Aragon remains vigilant in the coming days because of DANA and asks not to travel to Valencia and Catalonia

The Government of Aragon has asked the citizens of the Community to “maintain the maximum alert level” taking into account the meteorological situation that occurred this week on the peninsula. He also requests that Do not travel to the Valencian Community or the south of the Catalan Community unless they are “of the greatest necessity”.

This is one of the conclusions drawn at the end of the meeting held by the Emergency Operational Coordination Center (CECOP) where the situation in the Community was assessed before DANA. Our eyes are always turned towards the region of Matarraña, in particular towards that of Lledó and Mazaleón..

As Councilor Bermúdez de Castro stated in light of the information provided by Aemet, no warning has been activated at this time. “There may be a specific time of a storm, but, in principle, unimportant“, he clarified.

This Friday, there should be fewer incidents than in recent days. However, alerts remain for Saturday November 2, where Rain warnings can be reactivated in southern Aragon and other regions although “without the intensity that we have had in recent days,” said the advisor.

Taking into account the situation of the Community’s rivers, he clarified that none are on serious alertbut some are still monitored due to the rising waters of previous days or due to its orography. “Now the peak is in the city of Zaragoza, with 20 cubic meters, but these are lines that can be assumed,” he clarified.

Regarding displaced people, Bermúdez de Castro confirmed that residents of the Santa Fe residence in Cadrete remain housed in Huesca until Monday even if the neighborhood is already quiet. “We prefer that the elderly stay until Monday so as not to make them dizzy,” specifies the advisor.

Meanwhile, residents of Bajo Martín were affected by the difficulties in supplying drinking water due to turbidity problems in rivers or in certain swamps. In this situation, the tanks will be refilled or bottles and jugs of water will be administered.

DPT firefighters are carrying water from here and are expected to provide approximately 200,000 liters in the municipalities of Ariño, Híjar, Albalate del Arzobispo, Arribe, Urrea de Gáen, Josa, Valdeltormo, Mazaleón and Oliete. In addition, firefighters continue to work in Montalbán, collaborating in the removal of wood and remains of trees.

The situation of Community roads is already 100% operational and open and free access to all municipalities was ensured. However, “there may be occasional landslides on some roads,” the advisor said.

Help in Valencia

The fire team from Zaragoza City Hall, which went to Valencia last Wednesday evening, will return to the city in the coming hours and will be relieved by a team of firefighters from the Provincial Delegation of Huesca. In this way there will also be relays with a team from Teruel that will continue the work until Sunday.

As the advisor indicated, air assets with helicopters and Sarga fire trucks, as well as a team of forensic doctors and volunteers, were made available to the Valencian Government.
