Answer

How can Mallorca prepare better for future extreme rain events?

Better preparation means maintaining drainage systems, clearing torrent channels and improving flood protection in known risk areas. Mallorca also needs clearer warning systems, regular emergency drills and more resilient planning for roads, airports and new buildings. Small changes, such as more permeable surfaces and retention areas, can also help reduce the impact of future storms.
