Storm alert deactivated
Given the improvement in the weather conditions and the drop in callouts by the Fire Service for incidents linked to the rain of recent days, the alert stage of the municipal basic action plan for insufficient drainage has been lifted as of today, 9 October.
Since the start of the rain, on Saturday 3 October, the Barcelona Fire Service has handled over 2,000 incidents linked to heavy rainfall, basically owing to flooding, preventive checks, affected trees, landslides, incidents at municipal facilities and assistance for members of the public. The City Police has handled nearly 250, mainly resulting from accumulated water in public streets, disruptions to mobility, action in municipal facilities and preventive measures in schools.
Recovery work continues, particularly in the city’s mountain neighbourhoods.
