The management of the recent floods in Valencia, Spain, has faced widespread criticism. While heavy rains in Andalusia this week also caused flooding, authorities responded more swiftly, issuing timely warnings to locals. However, responsibility for the crisis in Valencia remains unclear, with 216 confirmed deaths and 16 people still missing.<\/p>\n<p>Experts say that managing such a large-scale emergency requires close coordination between regional and national authorities. While each level of government has its own role, the regional government is expected to take the lead. &#8220;It is the responsibility of the autonomous community to issue public alerts and assess risks to the population,&#8221; Pablo Sim\u00f3n, a political science professor at Carlos III University in Madrid, told Euronews.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Statutes of Autonomy, the Valencian president, Carlos Maz\u00f3n, is responsible for issuing the emergency alert. However, the alert was sent to mobile devices only after 8:00 PM, by which time many villages were already submerged. Maz\u00f3n was unreachable for several hours that evening. &#8220;The situation of the president of the Autonomous Community, Carlos Maz\u00f3n, has been the most damaged by this crisis,&#8221; Sim\u00f3n said. Now that the immediate crisis has passed, political tensions are emerging over whether the central government should have intervened directly and taken control of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sim\u00f3n, when a catastrophe occurs, the government should not intervene in the initial phase &#8220;because that changes the chain of command and requires a reorganisation that would waste a lot of time for the emergency services.&#8221; The Popular Party has put the spotlight on the Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, accusing her of mismanagement. Her hearing at the European Parliament to become executive vice-president of the European Commission on Clean Transition was postponed at their request. &#8220;I think it is very unlikely that she will not pass the hearings,&#8221; said Sim\u00f3n, &#8220;Everything will be decided next week.&#8221; Several scientists have travelled to the affected area to investigate the disaster, its impact, and potential solutions to prevent similar events in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/11\/14\/what-went-wrong-with-spains-flood-response\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/11\/14\/what-went-wrong-with-spains-flood-response\"> Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/what-went-wrong-with-spains-flood-response\/\">What went wrong with Spain\u2019s flood response?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16955,1102,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-flood-response","tag-spain","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135408\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
