Spanish Coast Takes Precautionary Steps with Tsunami and Earthquake Emergency Plan

On October 21, 2024, the Spanish city of Marbella emerged as one of the first cities in Europe to work on developing a comprehensive emergency plan for tsunamis and earthquakes. This initiative, led by DT-GEO researcher Jorge Macías, a professor at the University of Málaga and a member of the EDANYA research group, aims to prepare the city for the rare but potentially devastating natural disasters that could strike the region.
