The State Agency of Meteorology (Aemet) has launched this Thursday a “very clear” message:“The DANA continues over Spain. Very intense storms are occurring, yesterday in Andalusia, today in Castellón. We will continue like this for most of the week”. Aemet has moved this message through his Twitter account to urge caution: “Not only is it raining on wet, but many resources are focused on the emergency in Valencia. Act with common sense and following indications of ‘112’, Government Delegation and Firefighters”. And he has asked the population to stay informed: “Do not be confident. Do not have a false sense of security in coastal areas where it does not rain”. In this regard, he has clarified that many victims in the province of Valencia have occurred in areas where it did not rain washed away by the flood. “The flooding of a ravine occurs very quickly,” he added.
