Andalucía registra 61 incidentes por lluvias en últimas 24 horas
The Service 112, belonging to the Andalusian Emergency Agency, managed 61 incidents throughout the community due to the rains that fell on the autonomous community in the last 24 hours, mainly related to field detachments and the accumulation of mud on communication roads, flooded streets, and water balance.
As detailed in 112, in a statement, the main incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday in Soto, a district of Almeria Chercos, where a man was injured after a retaining wall collapsed due to the rains and was taken to the hospital.
The board is active from 10:49 p.m.
In Jimena de Frontra (Cádiz), the focus of emergency services last night was on the rise of the Hozgarganta River, with the situation normalized from 01:30 a.m., according to 112, river levels remain high, but at this time there is no danger to the population.
In Benahavís (Málaga), two crossings on the road were cut off, while on the Guadalmansa River, the right bank was overwhelmed and there are water channels, but no cuts. At these points, as well as along the entire coast, caution must be extreme and avoid traffic near rivers, banks, canals, or bridges.
The falling of rocks, trees, branches, and mud accumulation conditioned traffic at different points on the road in the province of Malaga: A-397 as it passes through Igualaja and Parauta; MA-8302 at the height of Genallguacil (which was completely cut off at kilometer 9.9); MA-8304, also at the height of a fallen tree; A-366 as it passes through Allosaine; CA-8201 at border cuts for a detachment on the hill; and kilometer 3 of MA-5403 in Ardales.
In the province of Huelva, A-49 was affected at kilometer 53 in Villarrasa, and in Almería, in AL-8106, in the municipality of Cuevas del Almanzora, although the situation has now been resolved. Four municipalities in Andalusia activated the Local Emergency Emergency Plan (PTEL), two of them in Malaga (Mijas and Fuengirola), Cádiz (San Roque), and Almería (Dalías).
On Thursday, there are still active yellow notifications for rain and storms in six Andalusian provinces: in Cádiz (strait, rural, and grazalema) and Malaga (Ronda, Sol and Guadalhori, Antequera, and Axarquea) until 20:00, except for Axarquia which will continue until midnight; In Almería (Valle del Almanzora and Los Vélez, Birth and Campo de Tabernas, Pentente and Capital), in Granada (Genil, Guadix and Base, Nevada and Alpujarras, and Costa Granadina) and in Jaén (Cazorla and Safe, Capital and Montes) that will last until midnight.
Given the rain notifications, 112 recommends extreme caution and adopts some self-protection guidelines that contribute to risk prevention and ensure the safety of all. It is preferable to avoid traveling on roads in areas with adverse notifications. If travel is essential, it is important to check, before leaving, the state of the roads through which you will be traveling, and then follow the instructions of informational panels and authorities, as well as stay informed by radio about the recommendations of the competent authorities and services.
With rain, caution must be taken while driving, reduce speed, and increase the safety distance. You should never cross a flooded area or water pools. If you have to pass through a flooded area for any reason, the brakes should be tested with slight controlled impulses. If a strong rush of water surprises you inside the vehicle, be prepared to leave immediately when the water exceeds the wheel axis.
You should not camp or park near river channels, even if they are dry, to avoid being caught by a sudden flood of water. In the field and in a storm, trees and rocks attract or only attract lightning, so they should be avoided, as well as metal objects. In coastal and temporary areas, walking through walks, water areas, and viewpoints should be avoided. Waves can suddenly carry us out to sea.
It is important to stay calm and follow information from official social media sources and media to avoid rumors and false information, and in case of emergency, call 1-1-2, the service available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
