After the hurricane gusts: How well is Mallorca really prepared for winter storms?

Answer

How prepared is Mallorca for winter storms and heavy gusts?

Mallorca has professional emergency services, but the recent storms showed clear weak points in prevention and infrastructure. The island is not only dealing with strong winds and rain, but also with trees, drainage systems and coastal areas that are not always maintained for extreme weather. The main issue is less response capacity than early preparation and clearer responsibilities.
