What stands out

What we found in Coria del Río

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

1.831 homes in a flood zone

1.831 homes

They are in the area that can flood once every 500 years according to the official maps (SNCZI); 995 of them are in the 100-year area. Next to Arroyo Riopudio, 321 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.

From 30 to 77 tropical nights a year

30→77 nights

In a typical building in Coria del Río, nights when the temperature stays at or above 20 °C would rise from 30 a year (1991-2020) to about 77 by 2050. For this reason, 100 % of homes would be at a high or very high level.

412 homes at very high wildfire risk

700 buildings

These are 700 buildings right next to vegetation that can burn. Almost all are houses (698), on the edges of the town and in housing estates.

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.
  • 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.
  • Emergency self-protection plans in the schools, care homes and health centres that are in a flood zone.
  • 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.
  • 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.
