Emergency and urban maintenance
The Valencian Government authorised 6,000 evacuated La Vall d’Uixó residents to return home under temporary shelter-in-place rules
What happened: An official update published on 27 July lifted the evacuation of the Toledo, Carbonaire, Sant Antoni and Sant Josep neighbourhoods and allowed 6,000 people to return home. They were required to remain indoors until at least 8:00 am on 28 July, when the measure was due to be reviewed if conditions remained unchanged. The same update estimated around 8,500 hectares burned and a perimeter of approximately 72 kilometres. This describes the decision at that time: check the current Emergency and 112 alert before travelling.
