The Minister of Health, Presidency and Emergencies of the Junta de Andalucía, Antonio Sanz, has confirmed that currently **six rivers are at red level and 18 at orange level** in the community, reflecting the high risk of overflows. Given the persistence of the rains, it is not ruled out that **more evacuations may have to be carried out in vulnerable areas** throughout the day. So far, **more than 3,000 people have been evacuated** in Cádiz, Jaén and Málaga due to the storm
Emergency services are currently monitoring the growth of riverbeds in the areas of #Andalucia that are on red alert for heavy rains. This is what is most concerning in #Grazalema, #Ronda, Campo de Gibraltar and Los Puentes #Jaen.
