The Bombers de la Generalitat managed 317 incidents caused by strong wind gusts in Camp de Tarragona and 10 in Terres de l'Ebre between Sunday evening and Monday morning.

Most services, activated from 8:00 PM on Sunday until 9:00 AM on Monday, were due to fallen trees. The region remains on alert under the Ventcat plan activated by the Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya.
Notable operations included a large tree falling at the Picamoixons Primary Care Center (CAP), causing structural damage near the stairs. Traffic also had to be cut off on the AP-7 near Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant due to another fallen tree.

The total number of operations rose to 317 in the Camp de Tarragona due to strong wind gusts, including the removal of metal panels from a gas station.

Furthermore, the wind lifted several metal panels from the Repsol gas station in Cornudella de Montsant. The Bombers removed the loose panels and warned the owners to repair the rest, which were in danger of falling.
In the city of Reus, the Guàrdia Urbana received multiple alerts for trees falling onto vehicles, shutter problems, and the collapse of a wall on Clos de Mestres street. In Tarragona, a tree blocked access to the La Salle school center.
