Valencia Prepares for New Storm Threat

Published: 2024-11-14

Valencia is bracing for more severe weather as a new DANA (isolated depression at high levels) threatens the region.

In response, over 50 municipalities have suspended classes, and some areas are fortifying with sandbags to prevent flooding.

The Generalitat, led by President Carlos Mazón, is under scrutiny for its handling of previous storms, which resulted in significant damage and loss of life.

Mazón's planned address to the Valencian Parliament to discuss government restructuring and response strategies has been postponed due to the current weather alert.

Local leaders are taking desperate measures to protect their communities, with some areas still struggling to recover from the last storm.

Residents are urged to stay informed and follow emergency instructions as the region prepares for potential new impacts.
