The severe storm that has affected the Alt Empordà region in recent days has caused several high-risk incidents, but also highlighted the humanitarian dimension of public services. Local Police officers in Castelló d'Empúries found the person sleeping in a spot that was rapidly becoming submerged due to the intense rainfall.
“"Yesterday we demonstrated once again that, when there is coordination and sensitivity, the administration can reach where it is most needed. Behind every public service, there are people caring for people."
Given the situation of imminent danger, agents immediately activated emergency protocols and contacted municipal Social Services. The rapid coordination between both municipal departments was crucial to ensuring the individual's safety, offering provisional accommodation in apartments.
Mayor Anna Massot praised the response, emphasizing the speed and humanity with which the operation was managed. The Town Council stresses that public safety involves protecting the most vulnerable citizens, strengthening coordination ahead of climate emergencies.
