The PP insists on diverting attention from the negligent management of Carlos Mazon before the DANAwhich ended in tragedy two weeks ago in Valencia. For days now, the “popular” has been pointing the finger at the third vice-president and minister of ecological transition, Therese Riberaa confrontation that they even moved to Brussels, where they tried boycott his nomination as European Commissioner.
The party and Mazón himself accuse the Hydrographic Confederation of Júcar (CHJ), depending on the department of Ribera, having late informed the Generalitat of the increase in flow in the Rambla de Poyo to justify the massive late warning because of the storm, which was only sent to the population’s cell phones after 8:00 p.m., when the villages were already flooded.
THE GeneralityIndeed, he maintains that the CHJ did not send any communication from 4:13 p.m. to 6:43 p.m. on the day of the disaster despite the “sudden increase in flow” and that “it lasted two and a half hours without communicating any warning”. A thesis which at least dismantles two emails from the CHJ this now reveals’elDiario.es‘.
These emails were sent to the Civil Protection of the Valencian Community, the Government Delegation and the National Center for Monitoring and Coordination of Emergencies (CENEM). at 4:37 p.m. and 4:50 p.m.. They warned of accumulated rains in Chiva, at the head of the Poyo ravine.
Two warning emails: at 4:37 p.m. and 4:50 p.m.
own Alberto Nuñez Feijóowhich avoids letting down Mazón even if the PP already considers him as a “toxic active”defended Wednesday that it is not “fair to try to transfer responsibility to those who simply made decisions based on information that is the responsibility of others” when there was a “major information blackout lasting more than two hours crucial for making decisions. » A hypothesis “Information blackout” that emails deny to which ‘elDiario.es’ had access, which had the subject “Alarm notice”.
According to the aforementioned media, they were sent by the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH) at 4:37 p.m. and 4:50 p.m. to the Civil Protection of the Generalitat. In the body of both emails, you can also read: “alarm in Chiva” and the increase in accumulated precipitation in this Valencian city is reported.
The meters that gave the alert were recorded at 4:26 p.m. and 4:46 p.m. Alerts, details ‘elDiario.es’, which are triggered when the Chiva rain gauge detects that the threshold of 30 liters per square meter in one hour or 50 liters in four hours is exceeded. When this happens, it generates an automatic notice sent by mail.
The flow data, in all cases, They are public and were available in real time, since they are updated on the site every five minutes. Furthermore, and although Mazón even claimed that the CHJ had deactivated the hydrological alert up to three times on October 29, Ecological Transition denied it, specifying that the issuance of alerts is not part of the competences of the Hydrographic Confederation.
