Corroborated by independent sources Certainty high

The regional government of Castile and León has declared a weather alert for rain in all the region's provinces from 14:00 this Sunday, November 8, with no end date, because of Storm Bruna and the passage of several fronts, according to the Ical agency as published by Diario de León.

The territorial delegation in Ávila has activated the Civil Protection Plan for Flood Risk (Inuncyl) at situation 1. The regional government expects more than 200 litres per square metre in 72 hours in the west of the Sistema Central mountains and the south of Ávila. A yellow-level AEMET warning for Monday in the south of Ávila says that during the episode accumulations may reach between 200 and 300 mm.

The measures include a mass ES-Alert message to the mobile phones of people in the south of Ávila, which Tribuna de Salamanca presents as planned and El Debate as already sent, and contact with the mayors of 33 municipalities in the province. The regional government has reinforced its emergency centre, pre-activated its logistics unit and notified the Ávila fire service and Civil Protection volunteers, especially from 21:00, when it expects conditions to worsen, according to El Debate.

The regional government recommends avoiding unnecessary travel during heavy rain and not crossing flooded areas, watercourses, fords or underpasses.
