Only three of 10 Marina Alta municipalities rated at risk have Municipal Action Plans against floods Ten of the 33 municipalities of Marina Alta are at flood risk as listed by the Generalitat Valenciana and are therefore obliged to have Municipal Action Plans (MAP). However just three, Xàbia, Ondara and El Verger, already have a plan. Denia, Calp, Teulada, Pedreguer, Xaló, Els Poblets and the Vall de Gallinera, however, are obliged to have one because their municipalities are classified as high or intermediate risk. The list also includes Calp and Pedreguer, although these two are not obliged because they are low risk. For some reason, Xàbia’s plan does not appear on the Generalitat’s list even though the town has had one since 2014. From: La Marina Plaza. Agenda 21 Update Christine Betterton Jones
