It is not that easy, even talking about current climate threats, but from last May experience , it´s important to: count on a multi-disciplinary team of collaborators, engage youth with future needs and realistic tools, and avoid Friday´s afternoon lectures ! A list with a few conclusions is at this link . Image of the drainage network upstream CacharĂ, more details and availability at this Zenodo link .
Two factors: extreme precipitations (convective cells) and the incapability of the ground/drainage systems to handle such heavy rainfalls in a short period of time. It´s not the first time, neither the last, and is still hardly to predict both the focus location and the flash flood evolution. Learning to Live with Risk for each municipality continues as the most reasonable policy, considering that long term climate projections are worse. My condolences for almost one hundred casualties at the moment. Satellite image from RTVE live and ALSOSpace over Valencia. EU-Copernicus Emergency Service Link for mapping damage extents.
