The collaboration between Universitat de València and the Valencian Agency for Safety and Emergency Response (attached to the Government of the Valencian Community) to study the flood risk within the Valencia Region has been renewed for the fourth consecutive year. The research is conducted by Professor Ana Camarasa, from the Department of Geography.
This year, the rainfall episodes that took place during 2019 have been incorporated into the research, with particular regard to September’s episode, given its magnitude. The main rainfall indices have been estimated and mapped in relation to the 112 calls and the flood hazard mapping of MIPICOVA (Integrated Flood Danger Map in the Valencia Region), developed in the agreement itself. Furthermore, the database of the National Catalogue of Historical Floods has been updated with the damages produced in the Valencian Community due to heavy precipitation events. In this way, the in situ study of rainfall continues since 2010 through the relation between rainfall intensities and 112 calls.
