Spain has declared three days of mourning following the devastating floods that claimed at least 205 lives, marking the worst natural disaster in recent history.
There was enough time to warn people, but the meteorological alert did not reach the citizens properly and on time, leading to tragic consequences.
Residents in the town of Paiporta were unaware of the impending disaster, engaging in normal activities while the creek overflowed, illustrating a failure in communication.
Criticism arose over the delayed emergency alerts, as residents received shelter-in-place messages only after floodwaters had already engulfed their homes.
