September rains bring David Pino back into the media spotlight

The rains on September 16, 2026, have once again brought the debate regarding flood risk in Catalonia to the forefront. David Pino, a professor in the Department of Physics at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), noted that flood-prone areas affect approximately 10% of the Catalan population. He called for prevention and civic responsibility, asserting that "we need to be aware of the dangers around us" and emphasizing the importance of knowing one's surroundings: "You need to know where you live and whether it is liable to flood."
