. i melissa chan, welcome to the program. emergency services in spain are searching for bodies following this week and devastating floods within 200 people has now been confirmed dead in the valencia region, where the daily hit. dozens are still missing. the defense minister says more bodies may still be trapped in vehicles caught in the flood. the 2 nami, like seams, have drawn thousands of people from all over the country to help with the clean up and to distribute aid to stranded residents. emergency workers such a flooded call parking valencia the victims of the recent floods. the risky work is turning into recovery efforts as the hopes of finding people trapped to life have been above ground. 5 fi to the removing the cause

that would tossed into waterways and piled up in the streets by the freshest flood waters. the extensive damage has put daily life to a halt overall portfolio bill. we haven't been through the worst apologetic done. nothing can come through. no food, nothing's coming on. that's the only thing that comes of the rescue trucks that can maybe bring a bit of food. but you need to walk 15 to 20 kilometers to buy some bridge metals. by up on the pipe. the that was no warning, w. w knows that i think in the end it was too much for everyone. it's true that they should have been warned, but in those circumstances, i don't think anyone could have done anything. it was something extraordinary. never seen before a mind. oh, my parents lifetime, i get your, your love any 5 years. now the experts say that climate change is to blame for

heavy storms and flooding, becoming more common. but they will say point to the failures in the low cooling system for not keeping residents in these high risk areas in valencia safe . the fact that we didn't hear those going to be so people in the grants, like they haven't received the warnings in time. and they've already, neck deep in malta, when they got those alerts on their cell phones, you know, not suggest something's going very wrong. that with the boating system, spain's prime minister petro sanchez, met with me to relo, to collect spots and emergency workers in the region to discuss the flood damage as residents question, if more could have been done to wound them when the spate is a hydro, meet your a lot needs urologist at oxford university. her research focuses on early warning

systems for natural disasters, particularly for flooding. thanks for joining the program. now survivors say officials waited too long to raise the alarm. can you put us in the position of the authorities? what challenges do they face in predicting disasters like this for us to be seen in we've seen a lot of talked about how important the flood warnings are in their lifeline for people. really because if we can tell people in advance of the big stuff like this is coming, then in this situation we hope you wouldn't have so many people in that cause and that would reduce the death toll. so we can see the value of these warnings. but they are really difficult to forecast, especially for these types of events where we have really intense rental in a very small area. it's difficult to know when that's going to be in and but so we need to improve the science. so we can be best with folks austin, but then we also need to be better communicating that message to the people on the ground so they can really see what the impact of so much work is going to be. and you can see the scenes playing here. it's just such devastation that unimaginable if you've not seen that type of event before. so it's even when the bodies come out,

it's hard to make people realize how important they are on the edge and see if taking action. so could anything more it could have been done for people to be warned in time. there's been so much anger at the officials, but where the officials kind of hand strong by the information they had. um, no, i think they could have probably got the message out pasta oh, using different communication channels and make sure the people have the information earlier. the problem is the someone certainties, that people are bit worried about putting these messages out and then nothing happening. so we need to balance that so that we don't, you know, get people ignoring the messages when we do put them out within the situation committee. any information a bit further in advance would have been very helpful and definitely before the war was rising up to people's and just the next is we've had some the media that's really concerning and really makes me think that something shouldn't be out early. i think we should have been told about this event before that. now a lot of what you study is looking at how cities adapt to be more resilient to,

to flooding. how could this have been mitigated? so yeah, we need to think we tossed up these massive ways of realtors that are coming down these rivers. we've seen, we've already heard that climate change has made this event 12, the range of mrs. and 12 times more. i imagine the subway when we get through to looking at that will be the, the law size. so we need to think about changing the subject of all cities. not having a people living on ground floor, making sure we've got escape route. so ways in and out of the city we're hearing now, you know, support a car coming to the city after the flood through time. we think about how the logistics of that might work. how many people are available on the grounds to be quicker to get the army into helping these situations? just be more ready to deal with the realities of a changing climate that we are going to see more of these events across the world. and we need to be ready to deal with them. now you talk a little bit about the impact of climate change. can you expound on that? just a little bit more. yeah, so what we see with columbia trying to do as the spare rooms,

it can hold no water. so we know that water evaporates from the sea and forms klaus and we had in this situation, the mediterranean saving the woman. it's been on record for a long time, and that means that just move water available. so when we talk the talk was and then more intense, so we can see more rain. so we also know that we're kind of changing the patterns of the systems that we're seeing there. we end up with a big storm of as much as somebody who's got stuck a one particular weight region. i'm not to take great massive ways and we want to that machine. so what time is, is changing and dynamic ways, which is real concerned when we can see the image is what the impact is. awesome events, but then the space from oxford university. thank you. so much for joining us. thank you. p this here are some more stories making headlines around the world is really risk rescue is say at least 10 people have been wounded in an overnight rocket attack on the central is really town up here of our residential building was reportedly hit. israel's military stated that several
