Context: flood risk in the Jerte Valley

The unanimity of the Plenary underscores the council’s sensitivity to an issue that directly affects the population and heritage of the municipality. The Plan establishes a municipal action framework against flood risk, without the BOP of Cáceres specifying the concrete measures envisaged.

Relevance for the residents of the Jerte Valley

The approval of this Plan represents an important step in hydrological risk management in a region extremely vulnerable to flooding. The residents of Aldehuela del Jerte and the neighbouring municipalities of the Jerte Valley now have a municipal regulatory framework governing actions against flood risk.

During the next 30 business days, any interested party may review the Plan and submit allegations before its final approval. This public information process guarantees transparency and citizen participation in a matter of vital importance for the safety of the municipality.
