1

997 homes at very high wildfire risk

1.519 buildings

These are 1.519 buildings right next to vegetation that can burn. Of these, 5 are blocks of flats with 131 homes, where evacuation is harder.

  • Carrer de Tramuntana: 55
  • Carrer de Baix: 30
  • Carrer de Llevant: 26
  • Avinguda 4ª: 20

From 68 to 101 tropical nights a year

68→101 nights

In a typical building in Sant Lluís, nights when the temperature stays at or above 20 °C would rise from 68 a year (1991-2020) to about 101 by 2050. For this reason, 100 % of homes would be at a high or very high level.

49 in every 100 buildings were built before 1980

49 %

They were built before the first thermal insulation standard (1979). With 101 tropical nights a year by 2050, they will hold the most heat at night and have the most to gain from a retrofit.

What can be done

For the town council and for residents

For the town council and its technical staff

  • Climate shelters, and late-afternoon and evening opening hours at libraries and community centres in the areas with the most tropical nights.
  • Shade and trees in the playgrounds of the 3 schools with the hottest surroundings.
  • Firebreaks and evacuation routes in the streets that border woodland.
  • Download the tables by area, neighbourhood, street and watercourse (Data tab) to cross-check them with urban planning.

For residents

  • Air your home in the early hours, shade west-facing walls from the sun and ask about grants to insulate the roof.
  • Keep the strip around your house clear of dry vegetation and know both ways out of your street.
  • Look up your building: the free report gives its level for each hazard, and the Climate Note gives the full detail.
