The precariousness of the Atlantic Pyrenees has established an orange flood alert. It explains that the accumulation of rains has fluctuated between 30 and 60 millimeters in the last twelve hours. Prefetura adds that throughout the day the rain will not stop, so in the Lapurdi area there may be an accumulation of rains between 70 and 100 millimetres.

The prefetura has spread some advice from social networks: to move away from the waterways and the lower areas, to reach a high point or to protect oneself above. Do not invade, even partially, the submerged tracks. Avoid displacement, keep them informed and watch water rise. Don't get down to basements. Remove personal objects from the water and locate the emergency equipment.

Furthermore, the precariousness of the Atlantic Pyrenees has highlighted the possibility that, in addition to the problems of rain on the roads, there will be electricity cuts.
