Cabildo de La Gomera

The Cabildo de La Gomera is the island council, or governing body, of La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands. It is responsible for the administration and governance of the island, including managing emergencies and infrastructure. The Cabildo is currently newsworthy due to its response to the impact of storm 'Therese'. Recent events include the activation of an island-wide emergency alert (Es-Alert) due to the risk of flooding, and the coordination of responses to numerous landslides and road closures caused by heavy rainfall. The Centro Coordinador de Operativa Insular (Cecopin), likely under the Cabildo's direction, has addressed around twenty incidents related to the storm. The Cabildo's actions are crucial for ensuring public safety, managing the consequences of the storm, and restoring normalcy to the island's infrastructure and daily life.
