During the session, the emergency's development, service coordination, and actions during critical hours and the recovery phase were presented. Topics such as the application of the DUPROCIM (Municipal Civil Protection Single Document) and communication management with the media were also discussed.
The torrential rains on August 22nd caused a total of 126 incidents in the municipality, including mobility issues, water accumulation, sewage problems, fallen trees, and infrastructure damage. The situation required a coordinated response from various emergency services.
One of the most significant operations was the preventive evacuation of the Arc de Berà campsite, where approximately 200 people were displaced to the municipal sports center, set up as a temporary reception area. Later, the progressive return of evacuees was organized.
The meeting highlighted the roles of the Local Police and the Roda de Berà Civil Protection Volunteers Association, detailing the intervention timeline and DUPROCIM implementation. Communication management with the media and public information were also covered.
Lessons learned for future emergencies included the need to review flood-prone areas, improve drainage system maintenance, strengthen evacuation and reception protocols, and optimize coordination and communication channels among services.
