Vulnerabilities in urban planning, ambiguous command and control oversight, delayed warnings, and insufficient preparedness underscored systemic gaps in the flood preparedness and management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Analysis and Policy Options<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>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.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>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.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/phrs.2025.1608297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T00:11:51Z","timestamp":1745799111000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Devastating \u201cDANA\u201d Floods in Valencia: Insights on Resilience, Challenges, and Strategies Addressing Future Disasters"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Jose M.","family":"Martin-Moreno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Garcia-Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariano","family":"Guerrero-Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose L.","family":"Alfonso-Sanchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Barach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","volume-title":"The Human Cost of Disasters: An Overview of the Last 20 Years (2000-2019)","year":"2024"},{"key":"B2","volume-title":"P\u00e1gina No Encontrada","year":"2024"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1469","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)31027-8","article-title":"Reconnecting for Our Future: The Lancet One Health Commission","volume":"395","author":"Amuasi","year":"2020","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"20085","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-021-99587-0","article-title":"Unraveling the Complexity of Human Behavior and Urbanization on Community Vulnerability to Floods","volume":"11","author":"Hemmati","year":"2021","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"164852","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2023.164852","article-title":"Exploring the Relationship between Urban Flood Risk and Resilience at a High-Resolution Grid Cell Scale","volume":"893","author":"Wang","year":"2023","journal-title":"Sci Total Environ"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"525","DOI":"10.5194\/nhess-23-525-2023","article-title":"A Multi-Disciplinary Analysis of the Exceptional Flood Event of July 2021 in Central Europe \u2013 Part 1: Event Description and Analysis","volume":"23","author":"Mohr","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nat Hazards Earth Syst Sci"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"103936","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijdrr.2023.103936","article-title":"Aware but Not Prepared: Understanding Situational Awareness during the Century Flood in Germany in 2021","volume":"96","author":"Zander","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int J Disaster Risk Reduction"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1229","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2020.479","article-title":"School-Based Education Programs for Preparing Children for Natural Hazards: A Systematic Review","volume":"16","author":"Seddighi","year":"2022","journal-title":"Disaster Med Public Health Prep"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"100310","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pdisas.2023.100310","article-title":"An Integrated Risk-Based Early Warning System to Increase Community Resilience against Disaster","volume":"21","author":"Haque","year":"2024","journal-title":"Prog Disaster Sci"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3016","DOI":"10.3390\/w13213016","article-title":"Here Comes the Flood, but Not Failure?
