The municipal emergency advisory committee met today, chaired by the mayor, Ana Mata, and the councilor for Local Police, Juan Carlos Cuevas, to analyze the forecasts from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) and establish the necessary deployment to minimize the consequences of the storm.
The Firefighters will have a standby crew throughout the day, which can be supplemented at any time. The Local Police also plans to increase personnel by up to 50% if necessary, and Civil Protection will mobilize about ten volunteers in the afternoon, when the storm is expected to intensify.
The emergency advisory committee will remain on alert to make decisions based on needs and the evolution of climatic conditions. The closure of municipal facilities or parks is not ruled out, a decision that will be made on a case-by-case basis once the day begins and the situation, which can be very changeable, is analyzed.
Additionally, municipal cleaning staff will be working throughout the day to clear storm drains, which have been cleaned over the past month, to prevent fallen leaves from blocking them. Regarding Operational Services, the responsible councilor, Daniel Gómez, recalled that minimum services have been decreed due to tomorrow's general strike, ensuring their labor is guaranteed in case of need.
Specifically, Aemet estimates that storm 'Bruna', which began to affect the province in the late hours of Sunday, could generate abundant rainfall tomorrow due to the passage of a subtropical low, which would also bring very intense wind gusts. Currently, the activated alert is yellow for the Costa del Sol region, although it could change in the coming hours.
