Answer

What can Palma do better after repeated storm damage?

The main priorities are better drainage, cleaner gullies, stronger warning systems and clearer cancellation rules for markets and public events. Local authorities also need to think about support for traders who lose income when weather forces a cancellation. In Mallorca, repeated storms are a reminder that emergency response alone is not enough without long-term planning.
