The DANA classified as one of the worst of the last century, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), and compared to the cold drop of 1982 and 1987 when the ‘Pantanada de Tous’ took place, has wreaked havoc among the Valencian citizens, who Try to collaborate with the search for family, friends and those closest to those who do not have signs.
This Tuesday, October 29, hundreds of messages overflowed social network X from those trying to locate their loved ones. Several users published their whereabouts in real time, while calling on the official accounts of the rescue services and the Generalitat because “112 had collapsed and the calls were not answered.”
Citizen cooperation is being key to expediting the work of the different security and emergency bodies and forces in this unprecedented meteorological phenomenon. On this occasion, a user has created a map with coordinates and descriptions so that people who are aware of a disappearance can be located to rescue them as soon as possible.
From his profile, the creator insists that the color guidelines must be followed, which mark the possible severity in which the victims can be found, as well as their names, exact address and the population group to which they belong.
Along similar lines, it warns that caution must be taken not to delete a person’s geolocation data or move it to another location. “I was amazed that there was no 24-hour coverage to help locate and communicate missing people, relatives and emergency services… I’m from Ibiza, I don’t have anyone there, but I couldn’t go to sleep without doing something, it’s a It’s a shame that the media has slept,” explains in X the reason for its creation.
Multiple Victims Procedure Activated
The 112 Emergency authorities have confirmed that the provisional number amounts to 70 fatalitiesso the multiple victim procedure has been activated.
After the meeting held by those responsible for the different bodies involved in the Emergency services, the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, insisted on the importance of avoiding “travel by road” and recalled that since 7 :00 hours the telephone number for missing persons remains active: 900365112, while 112 “is still valid and has not fallen.”
According to Iberdrola, there have been several cuts in telecommunications and electricity supply that affect more than 155,000 inhabitants, among whom are the residents of Catadau, Carlet, Montserrat, Montroy and Benimodo, and in Utiel and Buñol and surrounding areas, complicated areas to access the facilities to begin repair work.
In this sense, several users have also begun to share that they were experiencing water cuts in their homes, which the official authorities have come out to deny and have clarified that “the supply is guaranteed and that there is no risk of contamination.” After the alarmism created, supermarkets have experienced a collapse of users, who came in search of water and food due to general fear, leaving the shelves empty. Given this, the Consum cooperative has sent a message of calm, ensuring that there is “sufficient stock.”
Likewise, the chief inspector of the València Fire Department has communicated in a press conference that no locality is going to be evacuated and asks for caution in the face of hoaxes that are being spread through unofficial communication channels or messaging applications such as ‘Whatsapp’.
