The Alhaurín el Grande Town Hall activates its Municipal Emergency Plan from 08:00 hours on Wednesday, November 11, in response to the orange alerts for rain and yellow for wind issued by AEMET.

The Alhaurín el Grande Town Hall activates its Municipal Emergency Plan from 08:00 hours on Wednesday, November 11. This measure responds to the orange alerts for rain and yellow for wind that AEMET has issued for the Guadalhorce region and the Costa del Sol, valid from 12:00 hours to 23:59 hours on that day.

The Emergency Monitoring Commission of the council has cancelled all sports, cultural, educational, and community activities taking place in municipal facilities. The entry registers will remain open both at the Centre Building and at the main Town Hall building.

In the municipality, vehicles will be removed from flood-prone areas and crossings to the Fahala River will be closed. Parks and gardens will also be sealed off, as well as access to the mountains. Emergency Services may order the evacuation of homes near flood-prone areas if deemed necessary.

The Local Police, Civil Protection, Operational Services, and Social Services remain on alert. The Town Hall recommends avoiding unnecessary outings and travel, not crossing waterways or runoff with heavy water, removing pots and objects from outside, and being cautious near trees, scaffolding, and walls.

In case of any emergency, residents should call 112, which connects to the Local Police, Civil Protection, Firefighters, and Operational Services. The public should follow the instructions of the authorities through the official channels of the Town Hall.
