The Provincial Council publishes the contribution from the cooperation fund for affected municipalities

The Provincial Council of Valencia has published the announcement regarding the contribution from the Unconditional Cooperation Fund to the municipalities that were added as affected by the DANA in Decree 164/2024, of November 4, of the Consell. The announcement, processed by the provincial corporation’s Budget Office, appears in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia number 203, corresponding to October 22, 2026, with the official reference 2026/13048.

The content of the announcement

The text is inserted within the Provincial Council block in section I of the gazette, headed by the Budget Office, the service that channels modifications and contributions charged to the provincial budget. The publication formalizes the inclusion in the Unconditional Cooperation Fund of those localities that did not initially appear in the list of affected municipalities and were subsequently incorporated via Decree 164/2024, of November 4, of the Consell.

The gazette’s summary does not include the breakdown by municipality nor the specific amounts of the contribution; therefore, the economic details remain linked to the administrative file processed by the Budget Office of the Provincial Council of Valencia.

The Consell decree as a reference

The regulation serving as the basis for the announcement is Decree 164/2024, of November 4, of the Consell, approved just a few days after the DANA of October 29, 2024. That decree is the instrument that determines which municipalities are considered affected and, therefore, which can access aid lines and contributions from other administrations.

The key to the announcement published on October 22, 2026, is that the Provincial Council extends the Unconditional Cooperation Fund to the city councils that were added to that affected status after the first list, thereby closing a possible inequality of treatment between localities of the same region.

Municipal financing and other open lines

The Unconditional Cooperation Fund is the ordinary channel through which the provincial corporation contributes to the financing of city councils, without conditioning the destination of the resources to specific projects. Its extension to the municipalities incorporated into the decree reinforces the liquidity of local governments that continue to face expenses derived from the flood.

In the same gazette and on nearby dates, other municipal actions linked to the DANA appear:

• 2026/12509, from the Utiel City Council, call for direct financial aid to family members of those deceased due to the Dana (bulletin of October 16, 2026).
• 2026/11171, from the Algemesí City Council, modification of the guidelines for aid to households with total loss of housing as a result of the Dana (bulletin of September 15, 2026).
• 2026/11808, from the Mislata City Council, direct transport aid for people affected by the Dana of October 29, 2024 (bulletin of September 30, 2026).

Along with the announcement of the fund, the Budget Office publishes on the same page the public exhibition process for the initial approval of budget modification file number 1/43/181/2026, for credit supplements of the current general budget, with reference 2026/13049.

Impact for the city councils

The decision has a direct effect on the accounts of the councils included in the decree: the provincial contribution arrives without a project counterpart and can be used to cover current expenses or urgent reconstruction needs. For the residents of those towns, the publication in the official bulletin serves as formal confirmation that their city council is included in the distribution of the fund and is no longer excluded by a listing criterion.
