The central Government has officially declared the Vallès Oriental region a 'severely affected area' due to the floods that occurred in early October.

This declaration, approved by the Council of Ministers last Tuesday, October 27th, allows for the application of direct aid and tax benefits to compensate for damages suffered by individuals, businesses, and institutions, as well as to repair damaged infrastructure.
Individuals or entities that can prove damages incurred during these events can now submit their applications to the General Secretariat of Civil Protection and Emergencies of the Ministry of the Interior.
This aid is intended to alleviate personal and material damages, as well as losses incurred by individuals or legal entities who provided services or contributed resources to respond to the emergency.
