The messages, exchanged on October 29, 2024, between 8:15 AM and 11:53 PM, reveal instructions from President Carlos Mazón regarding communication during the catastrophe. Mazón requested data updates for the press conference, detailed reporting to project an "image of control," and to "flood the media with data" to convey public reassurance.
Councilor Salomé Pradas reported the declaration of Level 1 emergency in la Ribera Alta, the most affected area initially. Throughout the day, updates were shared on municipalities with suspended classes, affected roads, and reports on the meteorological situation in the provinces of València, Alicante, and Castellón.
Serious incidents occurred throughout the day, including the flooding of the ITV (vehicle inspection) centers in Utiel and Riba-roja, disruptions to the FGV (Valencian public transport) network with service cuts and trapped passengers, and flooded elderly residences inaccessible to firefighters. Health centers and hospitals like those in Alzira and Requena were also reported as isolated.
Councilor Ruth Merino issued an informative circular regarding the exemption from work attendance for public employees of the Generalitat Valenciana affected by the storm. Potential failures in the Telefónica communication center in La Eliana and Cheste were also reported, although it was confirmed that the 112 emergency line remained operational.
At the end of the day, Councilor José Ant Rovira remarked: "The left has started its little campaign," referring to the criticism received. "Substantial" damage reports were anticipated for the following days.
