Civil Protection activated a flood and river overflow alert across four Girona counties this Tuesday, suspending activities and urging the public to avoid unnecessary travel.

The alert from Civil Protection was communicated via a mass message sent to the mobile phones of residents in Alt Empordà, Baix Empordà, la Selva, and el Gironès. This preventive measure is taken due to the high risk of river levels rising.
The main recommendation is to avoid any unnecessary travel until 3:00 PM this Tuesday, when the meteorological situation is expected to improve.

The suspension of school activities, sports, and day centers has been decreed to ensure public safety against the risk of flooding.

In fact, the Muga river has already begun causing significant flooding in areas such as the municipality of Peralada, in Alt Empordà, where images of zones affected by the rising water have been recorded.
