Ceiling collapses in Palma – who is liable for the safety of our homes?

Answer

What should residents in Mallorca do if a ceiling suddenly collapses?

If a ceiling collapses, the first step is to leave the affected area and keep clear of anything that might still fall. In Palma, emergency services such as the fire brigade, local police and medical teams can secure the building and check whether it is safe to stay inside. The room or flat should not be used again until a qualified inspection has been carried out.
