5Priority Actions 3What's Happening Now

Priority actions

1Monitor local weather and transport alerts — high winds have caused road closures and service interruptions in Barcelona (see sources). Adjust plans if outdoor activities or surface transport are involved.
2Avoid natural areas in or near Collserola (Molins de Rei / El Papiol) while access restrictions are in place due to detected African swine fever in wild boar.
3Use secure carry for valuables in public and on transit — theft and robberies remain a frequent issue despite overall declines; stay alert in crowded spots.
4Expect intermittent public-service closures (some municipal facilities and bike-sharing suspended) during extreme-wind episodes; confirm opening times for venues you plan to visit.
5If you observe large demonstrations or suspicious activity, move to a safe location, follow local authorities' instructions, and monitor official channels.
