Answer

Are closures of parks and the seaside promenade enough to keep residents safe during Mallorca storms?

Closures help reduce direct dangers like falling branches and crowded spaces, but they alone don’t fix all risks. Loose sunshades, furniture, and unstable palm trees can still pose hazards along coastal areas in Mallorca. Preparedness needs additional measures beyond closures.
