The evacuees in Casares return home after the flood risk is ruled out

The 180 residents of the El Secadero population center, located in Casares (Málaga) and San Martín del Tesorillo (Cádiz), who were evacuated due to the impact of storms, can return to their homes after the risk of flooding was ruled out. The temporary shelter set up in a school will also be dismantled. The decision was made by the Advanced Command Post in Casares after the risk of flooding from the rising Guadiaro River was dismissed and safety guarantees were confirmed, as reported by the Junta de Andalucía. The Guadiaro River did not reach overflow levels overnight, and the homes were not affected by the flooding that occurred in previous days. As the storm episode on Monday is expected to be more similar to that of Saturday than to Wednesday, it is believed that "the rehousing of the residents can be carried out with complete safety," stated Patricia Navarro, the Andalusian government delegate in Málaga. The shelter at Los Almendros School in El Secadero will be dismantled after the 25 people who were relocated there have been able to return to their homes. The Red Cross will remove this housing resource on Sunday to allow for the cleaning of the school facilities, with the possibility of resuming face-to-face educational activities on Monday. The mayors of Casares and San Martín del Tesorillo, Juan Luis Villalón and Jesús Fernández, respectively, were present at the coordination meeting. Many residents had left their homes before the evacuations. According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), precipitation is expected to resume in the Serranía de Ronda from 10:00 PM this Sunday, and there is a yellow warning for rain in this region from 12:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Monday. Since February 4, the series of storms passing through the province of Málaga has led to the management of 527 incidents by the Emergency 112 service. River levels are stable or decreasing, such as the Guadalhorce River at Bobadilla. Regarding the reservoirs, the Conde de Guadalhorce continues to release water at 55 cubic meters per second and the Guadalteba at 53 cubic meters per second, which flows towards the Guadalhorce dam, currently at 87.38% capacity. Casasola is at 59.99% and maintains its discharge capacity at 30 cubic meters per second; El Limonero has stopped discharging and is at 94.86%; and La Concepción is at 79.63%. Recent rains have caused damage to roads in the regional network of Málaga, and six of them remain completely closed in the province: A-366 (Guaro), A-7286 (Campillos), A-2300 (Ronda-Montecorto), A-7202 (Campillos), A-373 (Cortes de la Frontera), and A-7156 (Casares).
