Valencia Wildfires - August 2018

Fuelled by heatwave conditions and strong winds, 11 separate fires are burning across the Valencia region of Spain. Thousands have been evacuated from affected areas. Several main roads in the region have been closed and authorities are yet to get the fire under control which is now threatening the coastal town of Gandia.

If you are traveling in the region, it's vital that you listen to and follow all instructions from local authorities and keep up to date with local news reports.

When it is safe to do so, be sure to contact:

• Your home country's embassy
• Your family and friends
• And if possible, use Facebook's Crisis Response tool.

Check with your insurer as cover for this event may be excluded from a certain date.
