Flooding in the area

Streets have been flooded. Not sure about electric but think its okay as haven't heard anything to contrary. Police not letting anyone in or out, Did hear they are going to release a dam into village which would give extra 1 metre of water.  We are going over Tuesday. We are in yellow apartments nearest to roundabout and they are okay.

We have electric. We cannot get out of the village for flooding all round.  Last night the water was up to tje roundabout and near the pool there.  Two new villas there have water coming out of them. There was a stream of water going past the viewing tower from the fields at the left to the fields at the right. The car park is full of cars advised to park there.  If you are talking about the Carolina homes, they seemed ok last night. Not been out yet today.

FLOOD DAMAGE and INSURANCE

CARS and insurance for flood damage

Just in case you do not already know, if you have fully comprehensive cover on your car you are paying a small amount each month to the Consortio. The Insurance will not pay for your car repairs for the Gota Fria but the Corsortio will. You need to make a claim with the Consortio. We only found this out when we were caught out in the last Gota Fria earlier this year when our car was water logged. The Consortio paid out - we had no problem.

HOUSE and insurance for flood damage.

Exactly the same applies as above. If you have House and Contents insurance you are also paying a small amount each year to the Consortio, so you make your claim with the Consortio - as same as you would for the car above.

Need any further advice come back to me and I will look up details of our claim with the Consortio so that you have telephone numbers, addresses of where to claim etc., BUT your Insurance Company should help you with the relevant claim - must add here ours did not help us, but another insurance company did. Hence we changed insurance companies when the car insurance ran out.

Good luck, Remember, if you are insured you are covered, do not accept that you are not, you are paying the Consortio every month so you are entitled to claim.

If you are not insurance, sorry I cannot help you.

Hi Jan,

I have been trying to put the message below on any Quesada forum as an Announcement but I do not think it will let me do that as the Announcements seem to be made via yourself.  Can you please arrange for the message below to be inserted as everybody needs to know that if they have insurance they can make a claim via the Consortio.  Their insurance company will probably tell them they will not pay - this happened to me but I did not give in.

Good luck,

The Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros (the Insurance Compensation Consortium, or CCS) is a compulsory Government catastrophic risk insurance in Spain. It is an insurance tax charged on prescribed classes of insurance issued by private insurers, providing cover against a series of extraordinary perils and "political risks”

Note: This Government scheme covers direct physical damage only. It is expected that a company ensures their commercial insurance policy covers them against any resulting Business Interruption losses if necessary.

Below is a link to The Consortio web page [in English] – you have to make the claim yourself, do not expect your insurance company to do it.  Mine said they did it, but the Consortio said they never received anything from my insurance company.

Hi, Partner is travelling over today (18/9/19). Will be flying into Alicante and travelling to Daya Vieja. 

Things we need to know;-

Is the AP-7 fully open, town hall state should come the back way through Dolores. 

Any info on the Emilles? Any floods in that block of houses? 

You can get into the village by turning off the island next to the cv 92 exit roundabout and I'm told via Daya Nueva.

We live in the Emilie's and to our knowledge none are flooded.

Thank you so much, that eases the mind a little. 

Partner has just arrived at Emilles. No problems encountered coming from Alicante airport. But took the town halls recommendation and took the back way through Dolores. No damage inside the house, but it's too dark (22.50hours) to see the outside fully. So I think it is fair to say that the villagers and services have done an excellent job so far. 

He has arrived safely, by going the way you suggest. Thank you.
