On the occasion of the very important flood event last September in SE Spain, caused by a cut-off upper level low (COL or DANA, for the Spanish), we have made of this the main subject of this issue.

Cover article, written from the Spanish Weather Service, AEMET, deals about the meteorological origin of these COLs. It's complemented with a perspective of flood risk cover by the agricultural insurance and this past event in particular, from Agroseguro. From Consorcio we've made an analysis of the relative weight of these COLs in the main flood events covered by the Extraordinary Risk Insurance during the past 25 years.

Recently, in the bigger share of flood casualties in Spain are, directly or indirectly, motor vehicles involved. A contribution from Centro Zaragoza, Vehicle Research Centre, gives clear and precise instructions on what to do if you're surprised by a flood in your car.

Everything leads to think that this kind of situations, already complicated and caused by a multiplicity of factors, are going to worsen as a result of climate change. From the Spanish Research Council and the Direction General for Water they review a recent publication about climate change and floods in Spain in mid-21st Century and, from the Spanish Office for Climate Change they summarize the closure of the previous National Adaptation Plan to Climate Change and the main milestones of the new one, due for 2020. We finish this issue with the usual judgement review of cases concerning Consorcio, in this case about the own Extraordinary Risk Insurance.

As always, the magazine is available in Spanish and English and its articles can also be downloaded in pdf format or shared in the main social networks.
