Help For Andalucia
This winter Andalucia has suffered more than most from terrible weather.In particular the rain has been torrential and continuous.Central government has now approved an extension of its aid to the victims of the winter rainfalls.This has been an emergency situation and in 2005 the government in Madrid created a Decree which defined the grants available in the region following natural catastrophes.
The deputy Prime Minister said that by extending the aid it will actually duplicate it as there will also be aid from the Junta de Andalucia too.She wants this assistance to be available as soon as possible .The extension of aid incluses agriculture,roads (particularly rural roads) and of course homes.Many people had to abandon their homes while farmers could be facing ruin to their crops.
The aid will give families 15,ooo euros for total loss of a property,10,000 to do structural repairs or 5000 for other damage.Loss of personal belongings could bring in 2,500 euros.Grants also cover the commercial sector and businesses and of course deaths which have been caused by the storms.Town Halls are also able to make claims for infrastructure damage.
