I tried to warn Valencia's government about flooding, but it didn't listen | Juan Bordera
Briefly

The regional government's failure to act on multiple warnings about the storm led to a catastrophic outcome; many lives could have been saved with timely intervention.
The scientific community has been warning for decades about the increasing power of storms in the Mediterranean. This was ignored by the Valencian regional government.
Despite clear and repeated warnings from the AEMET, local authorities responded too late, resulting in many homes being submerged before residents were officially notified.
The negligence of the regional government and its denial of scientific evidence contributed to the severity of the disaster, leaving communities devastated and in need of urgent help.
