Benidorm suspends classes and restricts traffic due to flood warning

Following the Generalitat Valenciana’s declaration of a flood emergency, Benidorm City Council has mandated that all outdoor activities and schools be suspended this Tuesday, March 4th. In order to protect civilians, transportation has also been stopped in ravines and gullies.

Unlike other towns in the Marina Baixa region, Benidorm was not initially under a state of emergency of zero. However, the Generalitat prolonged the city’s alert due to the growing potential of floods as the weather turned unstable throughout the afternoon.

Actions taken in Benidorm

The City Council has made the following choices in light of this situation:

• Today, Tuesday March 4th, lessons will not be held at any educational institutions.
  
• Cancellation of the municipality’s planned outdoor events.
  
• Traffic restrictions for cars and pedestrians in slopes and ravines.
  

While the notice is in effect, local officials advise the public to take extra measures and refrain from needless travel.
