Welcome to the Pont de Valencia Blog
I’ve launched the blog early to provide urgent updates on the flooding emergency across Valencia. Accurate information during a crisis is critical, so I’m working to share verified updates to keep our community informed.
Key Alerts on Misinformation and Facts to Know:
?? False: Water Supply Contamination and Shut-Off Rumors
Rumors are circulating that Valencia’s water supply is contaminated. This is false. The local government has confirmed Valencia’s water supply is safe. Isolated reports of water shut offs and weak water pressure are due to local issues, which are being addressed.
?? False: New Evacuation Orders for Additional Municipalities
No new evacuations have been ordered, despite rumors. However, residents are advised to remain alert as Valencia is still under an orange alert for severe weather. Keep an eye on official channels for the latest weather advisories.
Resources and Important Contacts:
• Report Missing Persons Due to Floods:
