**INTERVIEW WITH DR. MARÍA GONZÁLEZ, CLIMATE EXPERT**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. González. As we know, Storm DANA has caused significant devastation in Spain, particularly in Valencia. What can you tell us about the climate conditions that contributed to this storm?
**Dr. González:** Thank you for having me. Storm DANA was characterized as an upper-level isolated depression, which typically leads to heavy rainfall and severe weather events. The combination of high temperatures earlier in the summer and the atmospheric conditions this September created a perfect storm scenario. Unfortunately, such occurrences are becoming more frequent as climate change continues to intensify weather extremes.
**Interviewer:** Many residents expressed their anger and desperation during the visit of President Pedro Sánchez and the royal family in Valencia. What do you think are the main reasons behind this public outcry?
**Dr. González:** The anger stems from a feeling of neglect and lack of preparedness by the authorities. Many residents feel that they were not adequately warned about the severity of the storm, and the response has not met the scale of the disaster. It’s a traumatic experience for those affected, and in times of crisis, people often turn their frustration towards leaders who they believe failed to protect them.
**Interviewer:** The current death toll has risen significantly, and many are still missing. How can local authorities improve their disaster response in the future?
**Dr. González:** Local authorities need to invest in better climate forecasting and early warning systems. Engaging communities in disaster preparedness training is crucial. Additionally, coordinating response efforts and ensuring that infrastructure is resilient to extreme weather events should be a priority. Lessons learned from events like Storm DANA can help develop more effective strategies going forward.
**Interviewer:** Pope Francis has called for prayers for those affected by this tragedy. How important is it for communities to come together during such times?
**Dr. González:** Community solidarity is vital in the aftermath of disasters. When people come together, they can share resources, support each other emotionally, and work towards rebuilding their lives. It is during these challenging times that the strength of community bonds becomes essential. Initiatives led by local organizations can play a significant role in both recovery and healing.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. González, for your insights on this tragic event. Our thoughts are with those impacted by Storm DANA.
**Dr. González:** Thank you for shedding light on this critical issue. We need to continue discussing and addressing the impacts of climate change on our societies.
