    Burguera, November 13, 2024 — A severe weather alert has led to intensified mobility restrictions across 20 municipalities in the Comunitat, as authorities respond to the ongoing atmospheric conditions. The restrictions will be in effect from 6 PM today until 6 PM tomorrow, particularly affecting areas impacted by the DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos) event that occurred on October 29.

    The municipalities under these restrictions include Alaquàs, Albal, Aldaia, Alfafar, Algemesí, Alginet, Benetússer, Beniparrell, Catarroja, Chiva, Guadassuar, L’Alcùdia, Llocnou de la Corona, Massanasa, Paiporta, Picanya, Sedaví, Torrent, Valencia (southern districts), and Xirivella. These areas are primarily located in the regions of l’Horta Sud, Ribera Alta, and Hoya de Buñol.

    Authorities have implemented these temporary and exceptional measures to ensure the safety of residents amid the adverse weather conditions, which have prompted a yellow and orange alert in various zones.
