Storm 'Emilia' on the way: How well prepared is Mallorca?

Answer

Which parts of Mallorca are most vulnerable to flooding?

Flooding risk is higher in places where water collects quickly, such as narrow old-town streets in Palma, low coastal areas, and streets with poor drainage. Towns like S'Arenal can be affected if drains are clogged, while villages with narrow main roads can also be disrupted by even moderate flooding. Torrents and barrancos add extra risk when rain falls heavily over a short time.
