Answer

What practical solutions could help Mallorca handle boat arrivals better?

Several local measures could make a difference, such as designated emergency shelters, mobile medical teams, a shared volunteer database and faster coordination between island and mainland authorities. In Mallorca, better neighbourhood communication would also help reduce rumours and uncertainty around ports. The goal is not a dramatic fix, but a system that is more organised and less improvised.
