What stands out

What we found in Fasnia

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

Barranco de la Linde o de las Ceras: 41 homes less than 50 m away, with no official map

41 homes

Along Barranco de la Linde o de las Ceras (1,5 km within the municipality, dry most of the year) there is no official mapped flood zone, but there are 41 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.

From 8 to 13 tropical nights a year

8→13 nights

In a typical building in Fasnia, nights when the temperature stays at or above 20 °C would rise from 8 a year (1991-2020) to about 13 by 2050. For this reason, 30 % 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.
