The advisor to the presidency, Antonio Sanz, positively valued the coordination of Andalusia with the central government and municipalities in the management of DANA. This occurs amid the controversy over the relationship between the Valencian Generalitat and the executive of Pedro Sánchez, for the same reason.
As Sanz pointed out, The Junta de Andalucía has activated risk level 1 due to flooding caused by the storm which mainly affected Almería, Málaga and Cádiz. “We have worked on loyalty and coordination between administrations,” said the advisor.
The objective of this attitude, he added, is to “minimize the risks for people” and manage protection tasks, he noted.
This contrasts with the exchange of accusations that occurs in the management of the same crisis in the Valencian Community. Regional government means the central government and, in so doing, the regional government..
This is not the case in Andalusia, emphasized Sanz, where there has been coordinated work, he insisted, both with the central government and with the municipalities.
“Collaboration”
“Thank you to all the municipal councils who activated the emergency plans and collaborated,” said Sanz, who however clarified that the key was in “the collaboration with the state level and the forces and organs of state security. “.
Now that DANA has been defeated in Andalusia, it was time this Monday to take stock. At a meeting he chaired the President of the Council, Juanma MorenoThe Andalusian Government has summarized its actions in the face of the emergency situation.
Thus, Sanz specified that, during the days that the climatic episode lasted, “1,841 incidents occurred in Andalusia”. This demonstrates, he underlines, “the importance of the consequences of DANA”.
By province, the one that has affected the most is Malaga, with almost a thousand incidents, followed by Cádiz, Granada, Seville and Almería.
By province
Among these incidents, the advisor to the Presidency highlighted one person killed and another injured by DANA, one in Malaga and the other in Cádiz.
In total, almost 300 municipalities out of Andalusia’s nearly 800 have been affected by DANA, Sanz said. In other words, more than a third of the community’s towns felt the effects of this storm.
Now, he added, It’s time to assess the damage. Town halls, he recalled, have up to ten days to send their reports on what was affected in their municipalities by DANA.
Furthermore, this Tuesday, the Government Council plans to approve aid which will range from the agricultural sector in the municipalities, pass through lines for damaged hydraulic infrastructures or those linked to roads and communications.
