# Catalonia climate adaptation and disaster prevention > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/catalonia-climate-adaptation-and-disaster-prevention > Updated: 2026-09-15T03:00:00.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Authorities in Catalonia are implementing various measures to mitigate risks from extreme weather, specifically wildfires and flooding. To combat wildfire threats, the Área Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB) is expanding perimeter safety strips in Corbera de Llobregat, widening them from 25 to up to 50 meters in certain residential areas to reduce vegetation density and improve emergency access. Experts from the Institute of Forest Sciences (ICIFOR) have noted that fire intensification is driven by climate change and the abandonment of rural territories, suggesting a need for strategies centered on coexistence with fire rather than just suppression. In response to flooding risks following storm Alice, the Catalan Water Agency (ACA) has invested approximately 900,000 euros to complete 18 emergency actions in the Montsià and Baix Ebre regions. These works focused on repairing ravines and river sections in municipalities including Tortosa, Amposta, and Ulldecona. While emergency repairs to drainage and riverbanks are finished, structural studies are being drafted to address long-term flood risks in urban spaces. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Catalonia implements climate adaptation measures for wildfires and floods Catalan authorities are implementing wildfire prevention and flood mitigation strategies in response to climate change and extreme weather events in the Montsià and Baix Ebre regions. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/catalonia-implements-climate-adaptation-measures-for-wildfires-and-floods ### 2026-09-12: Cultural events and wildfire prevention measures announced in Catalonia Fabra i Coats will host six cultural festivals in late 2026, while Corbera de Llobregat expands wildfire safety strips up to 50 meters to protect residential areas. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cultural-events-and-wildfire-prevention-measures-announced-in-catalonia --- Cite as: Catalonia climate adaptation and disaster prevention.
