Dénia and Marina Alta step up precautions over orange rainfall alert

Councils in Marina Alta have again circulated a series of precautionary guidelines for residents in light of the orange alert for heavy rainfall affecting the area.

In the case of Dénia, the Town Hall has confirmed that schools will continue their activities as normal during the day, although it has asked families for patience and care during school drop-off and pick-up times should heavy rain occur at those moments.

The council has also reiterated that the ban on parking in the San Andrés group remains in force, a measure that will stay in place for as long as the rainfall episode lasts.

General recommendations

Among the guidance issued to the public are instructions to avoid trips or journeys that are not strictly necessary while rainfall is heavy, as well as not attempting to cross areas that may become flooded and staying away from ravines and river beds.

For those who do need to travel, it is advisable to moderate speed and pay special attention to road signs and any instructions given by traffic officers.
