Civil Protection Recommendations
In this context, Civil Protection has recommended this Saturday that, if the rain surprises you while driving, slow down, take extreme precautions and do not stop in areas where a large amount of water may flow. Likewise, he has also advised Drive preferably on main roads and highways and take into account the place where vehicles are parked in case of sudden storms and heavy rain and do not try to save the car in the middle of a flood.
“The rapid rise in water levels can damage vehicles parked in flood-prone areas and, in addition, drag them away, causing damage to other people’s property and even hindering the natural flow of the current”he has warned.
In turn, Civil Protection has asked that, in the event of torrential rains, one should not cross flooded sections by car or on foot since one does not know what may be under the water and locate the highest points in the area. Finally, if you are in the countryside, it has been urged to stay away from rivers, torrents and low areas of slopes and hills, avoiding crossing flooded fords.
