What stands out

What we found in Jayena

It comes from matching each building with its neighbourhood, its street, the nearest watercourse and its surroundings.

1

Barranco del Portón: 45 homes less than 50 m away, with no official map

45 homes

Along Barranco del Portón (2,4 km within the municipality, dry most of the year) there is no official mapped flood zone, but there are 45 homes less than 50 m from the watercourse.

Having no official map does not mean it cannot overflow: watercourses that are dry most of the year are the ones that cause the most surprises in a storm.

2

From 1 to 5 tropical nights a year

1→5 nights

In a typical building in Jayena, nights when the temperature stays at or above 20 °C would rise from 1 a year (1991-2020) to about 5 by 2050. For this reason, 0 % of homes would be at a high or very high level.

What can be done

For the town council and for residents

For the town council and its technical staff

  • Review with the river basin authority the watercourses with no official mapping that run next to homes, and keep them clear.
  • Download the tables by area, neighbourhood, street and watercourse (Data tab) to cross-check them with urban planning.

For residents

  • If you live on a ground floor or have a garage next to a watercourse, have a plan: where to go upstairs, what to switch off and how to hear about warnings.
  • Look up your building: the free report gives its level for each hazard, and the Climate Note gives the full detail.
