A senior official acknowledged seven days before the day errors in the Emergencies risk monitoring system

A senior official from Spain’s Emergency Coordination Center acknowledged seven days before the 'dana' storm that errors had occurred during the implementation of an advanced risk tracking system for floods and other weather-related emergencies. The email, obtained by elDiario.es, was sent by Juan Ramón Cuevas, coordinator of the Risk and Emergency Monitoring Unit, to Adrià Revert, president of the Valencia Meteorological Association (Avamet). The message revealed technical issues in integrating Avamet data into the system, which was developed through a temporary alliance of companies using the Argos platform. Cuevas admitted that the agreement with Avamet had not been renewed and proposed reviving it. The email also highlighted inappropriate emails sent by the emergency services to the web hosting provider of Avamet’s website. While the communication showed good intentions to improve collaboration, the timing of the proposed meeting raised concerns due to its proximity to the expected arrival of the 'dana' storm.
