Municipalities affected by DANA: eligibility for direct subsidies for flood risk adaptation measures

Royal Decree 590/2026 regulates the direct granting of subsidies to fund flood risk adaptation measures. These grants are specifically aimed at the municipalities included in the annex of Royal Decree-Law 6/2024 that were affected by the DANA and are associated with areas of significant potential flood risk. The regulation addresses the need to mitigate the effects of climate change and the intensification of extreme weather events in the Mediterranean region.

In 2 key points

  1. Direct grants for flood risk adaptation measures (Título)
  2. Scope limited to municipalities affected by the DANA included in the annex to RDL 6/2024 (Título)

How it affects those involved

For town councils and local authorities in municipalities affected by the DANA (particularly in the Júcar, Segura, and Guadalquivir basins), a direct funding route is established for adaptation works and measures (preamble). This enables addressing the vulnerability of urban centres and infrastructure to future flash floods resulting from climate change. The text does not specify amounts or application deadlines in the analysed fragment, but limits the geographical scope to the areas catastrophically affected by the October 2024 DANA.
