Deadly rockfall in Es Castell: Who protects houses on the coast?

Answer

What should residents in Mallorca do if a rockfall threatens their home at night?

Residents should leave the danger area immediately and follow instructions from emergency services if a rockfall is suspected. It is also sensible to keep phones charged, know the safest exit routes, and agree on a meeting point with neighbours or family. In places with weak mobile coverage, local alert systems and direct contact with the municipality become especially important.
