Precipitation recorded over the weekend has caused significant water accumulation, fallen trees, landslides, and the buildup of sand and vegetation debris in various parts of the municipality of Montgat. Additionally, electrical failures affecting traffic light operations have necessitated increased caution and temporary mobility restrictions.
In response to this situation, the Local Police have decided to close vehicle and pedestrian access to stream areas and several flood-prone locations. The primary objective is to prevent risky situations and ensure citizen safety.
During the rainfall event, municipal teams, including the Local Police, the municipal brigade, and Civil Protection, have been working intensively on the ground. They have monitored the most affected areas and intervened where water, mud, and vegetation obstructed passage.
Cleanup operations to remove soil, branches, and other materials carried by the water are ongoing, provided weather conditions and team safety permit. Municipal crews are also monitoring areas at high risk of accumulation and flooding.
The Montgat City Council has announced that operations will continue after the rains cease, aiming to restore normalcy to the streets and ensure public spaces are clean and safe. The public is reminded of the importance of respecting passage restrictions during rain events.
