The Les Corts Union Board will meet this Monday, January 27 to constitute the Dana Catastrophic Research Commission that swept the province of Valencia on October 29 with a balance of 224 deceased.
From the PP, its deputy spokesman Salvador Aguilella has advocated that the commission constitutes “as soon as possible” and they appear “all the people who have to contribute light on many issues that we still do not know” about the Dana. Among them he has pointed to “some (state) organisms that have not yet given explanations to the Valencians” in clear allusion to the Hydrographic Confederation of Júcar (CHJ), an organism in which the popular are focusing their criticisms arguing an alleged information blackout between 16.13 and 18.43 on October 29 with which they try to justify their slow reaction when taking prenvention measures. In fact, the message of warning to the mobiles of the Valencians arrived at 8:12 p.m., when thousands of people were already caught.
The argument wielded by Mazón in his appearance in the Corts last February and that the popular, surely, will continue to focus on the investigation commission falls out of their own weight. As Eldiario.es reported, the CHJ sent emergencies of the Generalitat 194 messages with different notices and alerts throughout the day of October 29. Only in the period from 2:30 p.m., when President Carlos Mazón was at a meal in which he offered the direction of public television to a Valencian journalist, until his arrival at the Integrated Operational Coordination Center (Cecopi) after 19.30 Hours, the Generalitat Emergency Coordination Center (CCE) received a total of 62 notices from the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH) of the Confederation. These are different situations linked to the Dana, such as overcoming thresholds in flows and rainfall. When these limits are exceeded, the system automatically generates a notice that is referred to the CCE, in which Civil Protection is located.
But in addition, the CHJ recently published A report with all the data collected by rainfall and sensors About the rainfall episode from October 28 to November 4. In it you can see the evolution of the Poyo ravine until 18.55 hours, at which time the sensor stopped registering data due to the damage caused because of the avenue. However, the graph reflects the update of the data every 30 minutes, information that was within the reach of emergency of the Generalitat in real time on the CHJ website, and the one that apparently did not pay due attention, with the Witting that CCE itself issued an alert at 12.20 am by danger in the ravine.
In relation to the Poyo ravine, in addition, there were informative emails at 4:37 p.m., at 4:50 p.m. by overcoming thresholds in Chiva rainfall; at 16.57 Hy 17.02 h by the flow of the Rambla del Poyo in Riba-Roja; at 5:27 p.m. for rainfall in Chiva; at 17.57 again for the Rambla del Poyo in Riba-Roja; Already 18.28 hours again due to heavy rains in Chiva. At 18.43, the Confederation sent the last notice through the sensor located in the ravine, at the height of Riba-Roj , however, the alert was not sent to citizens until 20.12 hours, an hour and a half later.
But in addition, although the CHJ system would have stopped working and the alleged blackout had been given, the Generalitat had the obligation to display its means to measure the flows. According to him Special Plan against the Risk of Floodthe monitoring of the ravines and minor channels must be done through the information provided by the municipalities and intervention services deployed in the territory (Civil Guard, Forest Firefighters Service of the Generalitat, Police of the Generalitat, environmental agents …) , that the Emergency Coordination Center (CCE) of the Generalitat must coordinate to take the relevant measures.
In addition, it corresponds to the CCE “coordinate all the information” and among other functions, “keep the municipalities of increases, predictable or notified by other organizations, in the channels of its municipal term” and “determine, depending on the type and severity of the emergency the protection measures to the population that must be adopted; Determine the human and material resources that must be assigned to each of the possible emergency locations in the Valencian Community, establishing the priorities of action it deems appropriate ”.
However, as this newspaper reported, the Mazón Emergency Team, specifically the Provincial Firefighters Consortium of Valencia, sent the Buñol Generalitat Firefighters Unit to measure the scale of the Poyo ravine on October 29 At 13 hours at Chiva. But only two hours were measuring. At 15 hours, as ElDiario.es from Forest Firefighters, the team was sent to the base. Those professionals, that if they had been measuring until 5:30 pm they could also have warned what could happen downstream, was at the base between 15 hours and 7:30 p.m. that were finally sent to their homes. Buñol -based unit did not send them to bailout, they lamented the same sources.
The Generalitat Valenciana herself recognized in an official document that the regional administration is also responsible for “monitoring of flows in rivers, ravines, regulation systems and flood areas,” according to the Special Flood Plan. He did it, in an internal note to which Eldiario.es has had access, a high position of Mazón a few hours before the Dana.
The general director of Natural and Animal Environment, Luis Gomis Ferraz, sent on October 29 at 11.30 an internal note to his territorial services in which he alerted the regional environmental agents deployed in the areas of pre -emergence that they had to protect themselves in “Safe facilities.” In the same official communication, the high position reminded its employees that the Ministry of Environment, Infrastructure and Territory, directed flood areas ”.
