On 29 October 2024, the eastern region of Spain, including the Valencia area, was hit by one of the most severe flood disasters in recent history. An isolated, high-altitude, low-pressure weather system (known locally as DANA) caused torrential rainfall that exceeded a year's worth of rain in less than eight hours. Rivers and ravines overflowed, urban infrastructure was overwhelmed, and the disaster resulted in hundreds of fatalities and widespread damage. This was not an ordinary storm. The intensity and speed of the flooding disrupted essential services — electricity, telecommunications, transport — and laid bare the vulnerability of systems that people rely on every day.
