The Consell de Ibiza has received to date a total of 108 applications for aid for damage caused by heavy rains recorded in the months of September and October. The figure was announced during the meeting of the Consell d’Alcaldes held this Friday at the Town Hall of Sant Joan de Labritja.
As explained by the island councilor Maria Fajarnés in the course of the meeting, the bulk of the requests correspond to individuals and companies directly affected by the DANA. Specifically, 40% of the requests refer to vehicles that have had to be decommissioned, while 30% correspond to damaged homes. The remaining 30% came from companies that suffered losses due to the floods.
The applications are currently being processed and the Consell expects to resolve the files and make payments in the coming days. From the insular institution it has been emphasized that these aids are compatible with other compensations, such as those of private insurances or those of the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros.
During the meeting, the president of the Consell de Ibiza, Vicent Marí, demanded to the State the publication in the BOE of the declaration of civil protection emergency zone, approved by the Council of Ministers on November 25. The lack of this procedure, he warned, is hindering the streamlining of some administrative procedures that would speed up the payment of aid to those affected.
