Castellón Keeps Emergency Devices Active Amid Rainstorm

The Castellón Provincial Council keeps all emergency devices active in response to the rainstorm affecting the province. The situation has led to the declaration of Emergency Situation 0 due to flooding, with a red alert in the southern interior, orange in the northern interior, and yellow on the coast.

The Provincial Firefighters Consortium has reinforced the Alto Palancia station and keeps all volunteer firefighter stations operational. Additionally, the Emergency Coordination Center will be reinforced throughout the night to respond to any incidents. The president of the Provincial Council, Marta Barrachina, along with the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, have chaired an operational meeting at the Provincial Consortium to assess the situation and coordinate the deployed forces.

One of the highlights has been the sending of an Es-alert message by the Generalitat to residents of the southern interior, warning of the storm's danger. The message urges avoiding travel, not crossing flood-prone areas, and following the authorities' instructions. Mazón has emphasized the need to exercise extreme caution and trust official information channels.

The deployed operation includes the participation of the Forest Firefighters Unit, the Coordinating Foremen of the Consortium, and the constant review of watercourses in collaboration with the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ) and the Ebro (CHE). President Barrachina has stressed that "prevention and prudence are essential to ensure citizens' safety."

The device will remain active throughout the week as long as the storm persists, with constant monitoring through Aemet and the emergency phone number 112. Coordination between the Generalitat, the Provincial Council, and emergency bodies is presented as key to minimizing the effects of the rains in the province.
