Extreme Precautions Recommended Due to High Winds

A warning has been issued as a result of strong winds on the Costa Blanca and inland areas.

Weather Warning for Wind

The Director General of Fire Prevention for the Valencia region, Rosa Tourís, has reported the CECOPI (Centro de Coordinación Operativo Integrado) has evaluated the monitoring of the meteorological situation resulting in strong winds on the Costa Blanca and inland areas.

Weather Warning for Wind

Tourís has indicated that “the Emergency Coordination Centre has established an orange level wind alert in the southern interior of the province of Valencia and the northern interior of the province of Alicante and a yellow level wind alert in Castellón, the northern interior and the coast of the province of Valencia and the northern coast of Alicante with gusts that can reach up to 90 km/h”.

Extreme Caution Must be Exercised

For this reason, she has pointed out that extreme precautions must be taken, especially in the areas most affected by the floods. “All preventive measures must be taken in all areas where goods are stored and in areas with lots of trees, and the closure of parks and outdoor sports areas is also recommended,” said the CECOPI spokesperson.

“It is advisable, especially for the most vulnerable population, to use an FFP2 mask”

She also stressed the recommendations made by Public Health in the face of suspended dust: “It is advisable, especially for the most vulnerable population, to use an FFP2 mask and to maintain these measures for anyone who has to carry out cleaning tasks or other tasks outdoors in safe conditions.” These recommendations, she insisted, “must be observed as long as the presence of particles in re-suspension in the air is perceived.”

DANA Damage Cleaning Update

Regarding the removal of waste, sludge and vehicles in the municipalities, Tourís has indicated that this operation is maintained at the temporary collection points in the towns of Aldaia, Sedaví, Algemesí, Guadassuar and Alcúdia and that the average removal per day is 15,000 tonnes.

On the other hand, she added that work is being done on the sludge that has accumulated in garages, basements and lift shafts. “The Provincial Council has indicated that the garages in which action will be taken in the coming days have already been registered. According to the records it handles, there are a total of more than 660 locations in basements and garages in the towns of Albal, Catarroja, Alfafar, Massanassa, Paiporta, Picanya, Benetússer and Sedaví,” she said.

The spokesperson has assured that the special group, which includes the different bodies, continues to evaluate the progress of these tasks. Work is continuing in both maritime and land areas, in l’Albufera, where a request has also been made to suspend navigation of boats, the Poyo ravine, Loriguilla and Monserrat, among other areas.

Elche photographer arrested for sexually assaulting two women in his studio

National Police Alicante Arrest

A 60-year-old man in Elche has been arrested by the National Police for two separate sexual assaults in the last two weeks. The man was pretending to be a photographer for a report, but a 25-year-old woman there claimed that he intended to capture naked pictures of her, which would lead to sexual assault with penetration without her consent.

Officers found out after his detention that he had been detained two weeks prior for similar charges. He had even received a restraining order and been prohibited from leaving the country for assaulting a disabled woman again.

He persuaded her to shoot naked pictures


The complaint claims that the woman asked the photographer to do a photo session. He convinced her to sign a document giving him permission to take naked pictures of her at the signing ceremony. The suspect claimed it was because of her height that it was hard for her to be a model and that it was better to photograph her naked.

The man touched various body parts on the model while she posed for shots, he even took images of her intimate areas. He then pulled down his pants and stabbed her with his fingers.

The woman made it plain she wasn’t going to strip when she went on a second shoot. The complaint claims that the man attempted to reenact the first date scene, but she fled right away and came back with a friend worried he could have a recording camera in the studio. She requested that he remove any pictures he may have of her during that stay.

Arrested two weeks earlier


The woman went to the police station with a lawyer and filed a handwritten complaint. Officers then learnt that the man had previously been taken into custody for assaulting a disabled young woman in his studio, even attempting penetration.

Police detained the man at the studio as a result of both instances, and they also confiscated mobile phones, laptops, tablets, desktops, and other gadgets. The 60-year-old guy was charged with sexual assault and brought before a judge.

Hospitality and recreation establishments in Elche receive 36 infringement reports from local police

The Elche Local Police conducted an operation that involved inspecting thirteen hospitality and leisure outlets in various neighbourhoods, resulting in one arrest and 36 violations. The data was made public on Friday, 28th March, mainly as a reminder of the work that is being done. Councilman Juan de Dios Navarro gave the police top for their efforts.

According to local police inspector José Antonio Corrales, the majority of the infractions included drug usage and possession, including four for cocaine possession and seven for hashish, as well as improper company documentation. Additionally, there were two reports for disturbing the peace or disrespecting law enforcement, four for not following the minimum hygienic standards for food storage, one serious infraction for conducting the activity after hours and behind closed doors, and seven for irregularities found on the property, including improper documentation.

Additionally, officers found six infractions for permitting smoking in unapproved indoor locations, three for type “B” slot machine identification guide deficiencies, and one major infraction for emergency escape and door flaws. Additionally, a report was made about the selling of illegal tobacco at a pub, where 20 packets were confiscated and one individual was detained on court order and imprisoned.

Visitor to Catral cemetery locked inside

Catral Local Police Cemetery

As nightfall approached on one of these soggy spring days in March, a young man decided it would be a good idea to visit a cousin or acquaintance’s grave and take a walk through the cemetery. Because the cemetery still closes its (automatic) gates at six o’clock at this time of year, but without the winter gloom that may discourage anyone from going.

However, the door was locked when he attempted to exit. The visitor didn’t seem to want to spend any more time among the cemeteries, despite the cemetery’s reputation as a particularly tranquil spot. Unaware of the placard bearing the mobile phone number for anyone needing help, he dashed out the gate. It was all on camera.

Joaquín Lucas, the mayor of Catral, maintains that this occurrence is unrelated to the privatisation of the cemetery works and feels that management by an outside company is an efficient approach to provide this service in a municipal office. He went on to say that the young man who who was locked in is from the nearby municipality of Dolores rather than Catral.

The local police took to social media and atacked the man’s “reckless” behaviour. He has been named in connection with “criminal proceedings for a crime against another’s property.” Nonetheless, the business will be liable for any damages brought on by the damaged door anchors.

In addition to clarifying that the business employs two workers—a gravedigger and a labourer who maintains the communal areas and restrooms—the Councillor for Services, Daniel Escudero, reaffirmed that the automatic door is an option offered by the company itself.
