Palma closes parks and the Paseo Marítimo — are the precautions against the storm enough?

Answer

What actions does Palma take during a storm to protect people and property?

Palma closed Bellver, La Ribera and Can Terrers parks from 3:00 p.m. and cordoned off the Paseo Marítimo from 6:00 p.m., with the Patis Oberts programme suspended. These steps follow an orange weather warning to reduce exposure to strong winds and flying debris. They are necessary for immediate safety, but they don’t address deeper vulnerabilities that could cause damage later.
