Recommendations to the population of La Palma due to heavy rain alert

The General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Canarian Government urges the population to self-protect against the remobilization of materials deposited in the areas affected by the eruption

The Government of the Canary Islands, through the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies, has declared the situation of Maximum Alert for Rains in the Canary Islands , starting at 00:00 hours on September 24.

This decision has been made taking into account the information available and in application of the Canary Islands Specific Emergency Plan for Risks of Adverse Meteorological Phenomena (PEFMA) and that in the case of the island of La Palma specifies some advice.

It highlights that given the probability of intense rains, the accumulation of ash and pyroclasts can enable the formation of mudflows with enormous mechanical force (small lahars) in areas of strong runoff and that is generated when the materials emitted during the eruption are mixed. with the water and form flows that move down the slope.

In addition, the rains can remobilize these materials deposited in the areas affected by the eruption , causing these mudflows to occur through the natural slope of the land.

It can vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of meters wide. It can travel very fast or very slowly, depending on the amount of water contained in the mixture.

How to prevent and act
Avoid walking through ravines, valleys or riverbeds, both natural and artificial.

• Do not travel in riverbed areas or at the foot of steep slopes.

• If you are surprised by a runoff or mudflow, take shelter in a high place.

• Do not carry out displacements and if you do, avoid circulating in the areas near the volcano in

where there are accumulations of material (ash deposits and pyroclasts).

• Use only the communication routes established by the authorities.

• In an emergency call 1-1-2.

Road closures in the Canary Islands: 112 calls for travel to be avoided

The rain that is falling this Sunday morning in the Canary Islands due to Cyclone Hermine is forcing numerous roads to be cut in the Canary Islands
Hermine becomes a post-tropical remnant low


Specifically, according to reports from the Cabildo de Gran Canaria Highway Service, there have been various rockfalls on the GC-75, GC-220, GC-200 (between Agaete and El Risco) or GC-210 (in sections de Tejeda-Artenara and Cruce de Artenara-La Aldea).

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Local Police have explained that they have had to close the San José Tunnel (southbound) to traffic due to the accumulation of water in the lanes, although for the moment it does not affect the entrance to the San Cristóbal neighborhood .

The Carretera del Dragonal (GC-310) has also been closed at the height of the Jardín Canario due to the partial subsidence of the asphalt when a sewer broke due to the amount of water.

In the same way, there are problems in the Paseo de Chil, with the descent of the water through the walls that produces the usual image of small waterfalls that accumulate in the different lanes.

They raise an alert that the volcanic risk is increasing in the Canary Islands and demands a strategy from public institutions


Pérez has detailed that, according to Involcan calculations, the probability of a new eruption in the Canary Islands exceeds 77% in the next 50 years, especially in La Palma (48.7%) and Tenerife (39.3%), percentages that rise to 48.7% and 63.2% respectively in the next 100 years. He has asked the deputies what they are "waiting for" to develop the strategy, which he has estimated at an approximate cost of around 250,000 euros to be ready in a year, while criticizing the ""lack of commitment" of the State and of the legislative chambers.


Pérez has proposed doing volcanic emergency drills and zoning volcanic risk on the islands based on the location of "critical infrastructure" such as ports, airports or hospitals -- he has given as an example that the Mazo airport is poorly planned -- . It has had an impact on improving prevention and early care with more volcanic surveillance and information workshops, studying embankments as thermal insulation for buildings, promoting geotourism and developing goethermy. They raise an alert that the volcanic risk is increasing in the Canary Islands and demands a strategy from public institutions


In this line, he has requested consensus, participation and scientific knowledge to promote the strategy, making it clear that "things are possible but you have to put dough" for which he has asked the deputies to promote that the Canary Islands stop being in the queue in research and development when processing budgets. "They have work to do," she said.

THE EMISSION OF GASES IN PUERTO NAOS AND THE LIGHT BULB "DOES NOT DECREASE" As for the toxic gases that emanate from La Bombilla and Puerto Naos, on the coast of Los Llanos de Aridane, he commented that it is necessary to "monitor the beast" and carry out "natural and forced ventilation" given that although it will not be a "permanent" phenomenon do not have the tools to know when it will end. "For now it is not diminishing," he said.

For this reason, it has defended small visits by people evicted from their homes, accompanied and for at least two hours and between 12:00 and 5:00 p.m., a time slot with less danger and avoiding basements and ground floors. He has recognized that it is a "complex problem" but they are obliged to "live" with it.

10/10/2020 - 19:00h Canary Islands. - FOLLOW REGIONAL EFFORTS AND SWAMMERS 10-13 KM ON THE ISLAND OF PALMA AND IN TENERIFE IN THE UCANCA BOILDER WITH SENSENT EARTHQUAKES. - Continuing activity in the archipelago with regional tensions squeezing it from the North and South according to the seismic shear affecting mainly magma bodies such as the island of Palma, those of the island of Tenerife, especially under the boiler of Ucanca and even what's left of the El Hierro reservoir. This has caused us to have seismicity spread across the archipelago with a couple of Events officially felt in TF and LP, to add a few more that have also been felt very weakly.

On the island of Palma it must be emphasized that the efforts are aligned in two lines going SW direction from what would be the deep reservoir under summit Vieja, one comes out from what would be North of that reservoir towards Port Naos and another sa you from what would be south of that reservoir towards the Remo.
