Devastating "DANA" Floods in Valencia: Insights on Resilience, Challenges, and Strategies Addressing Future Disasters.
Article in Public health reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The unprecedented DANA floods that struck Valencia, Spain on October 29, 2024, caused catastrophic human, economic, and ecological damages, resulting in 223 fatalities, the displacement of 15,000 residents, and long-term health and environmental consequences and incurred financial losses estimated over 50 billion euros. Vulnerabilities in urban planning, ambiguous command and control oversight, delayed warnings, and insufficient preparedness underscored systemic gaps in the flood preparedness and management. Analysis and Policy Options: Urgent actions, including stricter urban zoning laws, implementing comprehensive early warning systems, and fostering community-based disaster preparedness are needed to mitigate future risks. A One Health approach that addresses the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health is critical. Investments in resilient infrastructure and communication strategies, including mobile alerts and public education campaigns, can significantly mitigate overall impacts. Moreover, prioritizing mental health interventions and long-term recovery plans are essential for fostering community resilience. Conclusion: The Valencia floods catastrophe is a painful reminder of the devastating potential of extreme weather and the critical importance of preparedness and clear governance underscore the pressing needs for integrated disaster management frameworks. An effective system of cooperation between local and national governments is essential to avoid the confusion and delays seen during this disaster. Strengthening prevention, preparedness, and response measures, and fostering political and community cohesion, can enable societies to build adaptive capacity to effectively tackle the increasing challenges of climate-driven extreme weather disasters. Future leaders must act with urgency and transparency to build trust and put citizens' safety above all else.
