What stands out

What we found in Villoslada de Cameros

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

1

71 homes in a flood zone

71 homes

They are in the area that can flood once every 500 years according to the official maps (SNCZI); 64 of them are in the 100-year area. Next to Río Iregua, 35 homes are inside the flood zone, less than 100 m from the watercourse.

According to the Ministry’s studies, this is an annual probability of 0,2 % (500 years) or 1 % (100 years), not “once every 500 years”: it can happen two years in a row. Small gullies are not always mapped.

Where there are fewer trees, 5,4 °C hotter

5,4 °C

Around homes with between 10 and 20 % tree cover, the surface in summer is 2,1 °C above the median for Villoslada de Cameros; with more than 40 % tree cover, 3,3 °C below. 0 homes are in surroundings with almost no trees.

Ground surface temperature (Landsat), not air temperature. More trees usually go with less asphalt and lower density: this is a correlation, not a measure of the effect of planting trees.

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.
  • 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

  • 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.
  • 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.
