The economic consequences were at a private level, flooded garages, cars swept away, homes and businesses were affected in very different ways. The damage to the terraces and the power outages meant that numerous hospitality businesses not only had to close, but also lost the use of their refrigerators and freezers.
ACTIONS TO HELP ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM
What actions do we propose to change things?
Since we cannot prevent the increase in damage, we can mitigate the impact with the following solutions:
- Policies prohibiting the construction of infrastructure in flood-prone areas.
- Do not divert rivers from their natural channels
- Indicate flood-prone areas and block access to these areas when the weather threatens us.
- Implement an alert system that notifies the entire population through telecommunications devices when we are subject to any climatic danger.
To avoid or mitigate fires, we propose the following solutions:
- Active forestry policy that favours transhumant livestock farming.
- Increase the number of firewalls.
- Promote policies for the conservation of arable areas.
