    Valencia, 16 days after the passing of the DANA

    Valencia, 16 days after the passing of the DANA

    Several members of the Navy work in the search at La Albufera, on November 14, 2024, in Valencia, Valencian Community (Spain). On October 29, a DANA devastated the province of Valencia. The country's worst cold drop in a century resulted in 216 fatalities. Yesterday, another DANA passed through Valencia, much milder than the previous one. Cullera has been the municipality that has registered more rainfall exceeding 90 liters per square meter. Although yesterday, the AEMET activated the red alert in Valencia, today it has lowered it to yellow after the passage of the DANA. Also, the mobility of private vehicles is restricted from yesterday until 18 hours today. Valencia, Spain on November 14, 2024. Photo by Eduardo Manzana/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM

                  15 Days After The Passage Of The DANA Over Valencia

                  Cars affected by the DANA piled up on a plot of land, on November 13, 2024, in Paiporta, Valencia, Valencian Community (Spain). Last October 29, a DANA hit the province of Valencia. The country's worst cold drop in a century claimed 215 lives, and 23 people were reported missing. While the population tries to recover from the tragedy, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated a new orange alert for the arrival of a new DANA that will arrive from this afternoon-evening to Valencia and could leave ''very heavy and persistent'' rainfall. Although this time the alert is orange and not red, many municipalities have taken preventive measures such as the suspension of classes or the installation of sandbags as a preventive measure against overflowing rivers.
